You may want to find an empty parking lot for a pratice day. You will find a large difference in backing up. The 5er responds different than a TT. You will also want to pratice right had turns as the 5ers travel a different path than your TT.
enjoy

Watch your low bridges and tree limbs. If you have front a/c, I bet your approaching 13'4". Towing as others have said is different, but easier to hook up and manuever. Practice a bit and you'll be fine.
