Towing motorcycle with MINI through mountain roads?

Hey,
Really interested in setting up my MINI to tow my dirt bike. I have an 03 Mini Cooper (non S). From what I've read on the forums and a few other forums, the MINI seems to tow a motorcycle just fine. My dirtbike is less than 300lbs and my trailer would probably be around 300-400lbs.

What I'm curious about is how it handles going up/down steeper inclines? Most OHV areas in California are in the mountains and from what I remember, I need to climb somewhat steep roads to get there. Would this cause too much strain on the engine?
