BMW X3 TOWING CAPACITY

---

All you need to do is equip the available BMW towing hitch, and you’ll be able to reach the maximum BMW X3 towing capacity. For model-year 2021, the BMW X3 can tow up to 4,400 pounds confidently. Although it’s important to note that all models can reach the maximum, drivers who plan on doing a lot of heavy towing would be wise to consider all of the available powertrains. We’ve covered everything you’ll want to know before you start browsing our BMW X3 inventory.

2021 BMW X3 Powertrains and Performance Specs

With the baseline BMW X3 sDrive30i or the BMW xDrive30i, you’ll receive a 2.0L TwinPower Turbo i4 engine that delivers 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. xDrive allows for more responsive handling on the roads near East Greenwich and Providence, so it’s a good option for the driver who doesn’t mind a slightly heavier curb weight.

• A More Powerful Upgrade: The preferred engine option for adventurous drivers may be the 3.0L M Performance TwinPower Turbo V6, standard on the M40i. With 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque, it’s better at getting the X3 up to speed–especially if you’re pulling a trailer.
• Consider the Plug-In Hybrid: If you only plan on towing occasionally, you might be happier with the xDrive30e Plug-In Hybrid configuration. After all, even this exceptionally-efficient model offers 288 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, or more than enough power for most drivers.

If you think that you’d like more power or a faster, stronger engine, consider the rest of the BMW SAV® lineup at our dealership. The BMW X5 towing capacity is significantly higher than that of the X3.

2021 BMW X3 Towing Features

Even the most accessible BMW X3 includes all of the standard safety features that you’ll need to tow without worry. Here’s what to expect from the base model:

• Dynamic Traction Control
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
• Brake Fade Compensation
• Start-off Assistant
• Brake Drying and Brake Stand-by
• 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes
• Dynamic Brake Control
• Cornering Brake Control
• Servetronic power steering assist
• Rear-view camera
• Active Driving Assistant

That’s not all. Drivers who want to make the most of their X3 SUV’s power would be smart to opt for a few optional BMW towing features, including the following upgrades:

• Surround View with 3D View
• Active Lane Keeping Assistant
• Adaptive headlights

Considering pre-owned models, too? Although a used X3 will offer some of these features, the vast majority of our models will only offer some of them. What’s more, taking the BMW X3 28d towing capacity of 3,500 pounds as an example, you won’t have quite as much power at your disposal.

2020 BMW X3 Performance

With an optional trailer hitch, every BMW X3 configuration can tow the maximum weight of 4,400 pounds. With the standard I4, your choice between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive will not impact your capacities. However, opting for the available twin-turbocharged V6 will net you more horsepower, more torque, and a higher maximum payload.

If you’re getting ready to move heavy cargo, here’s what you should know about all three BMW X3 configurations:

• 2020 BMW X3 sDrive30i 2.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder
  • 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
  • Rear Wheel Drive
  • Maximum Payload Capacity of 893 pounds
  • Curb Weight of 3,931 pounds
• 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30i 2.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder
  • 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
  • BMW xDrive all-wheel drive
  • Maximum Payload of 893 pounds
  • Curb weight of 4,401 pounds
• 2020 BMW X3 M40i 3.0L M Performance TwinPower Turbo V6
  • 382 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque
  • BMW xDrive all-wheel drive
  • Maximum Payload of 915 pounds
  • Curb weight of 4,317 pounds

Don’t feel like hooking up a trailer? The X3 dimensions provide plenty of room for cargo, with 28.7 cubic feet behind the 2nd row of seats. Fold them flat, and you’ll have 62.7 cubic feet to play around with. Think you might need even more space and towing power?
