2021 BMW X3

 

The new BMW X3 is a dynamic SUV that strikes a great balance between luxury and utility. When equipped with the optional BMW towing hitch, the 2022 BMW X3 towing capacity tops off at 4,400 pounds. This is a respectable towing limit for a vehicle of its size, enabling you to bring a small camping trailer, a lightweight aluminum boat, or a couple of ATVs along for your weekend trips away from Raleigh.

BMW Towing Features for the X3

Navigating through Cary with a trailer in tow is easy with the right BMW towing features. The BMW X3 is among the smaller models that make up the BMW SUV lineup, but you can rest assured that it’s equipped to handle up to the 4,400-pound towing capacity with the following safety and technology features on board:

  • 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
  • Driving Dynamics Control with ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT modes

Many of these features are designed to help your vehicle tow without straining against the weight, but there are other features available that can help you have a better towing experience from behind the wheel, too. Driving in Chapel Hill with a trailer hitched up will feel a lot less daunting with options like Surround View with 3D View, adaptive headlights, Active Lane Keeping Assistant, and Blind Spot Detection.
