BMW X3 G01/F97 M40i Steptronic - Towing vehicle

Can the BMW X3 also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this topic the motor vehicle must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2400 kg, this car does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
The torque is at the BMW X3 decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this motor vehicle distributes the power over all four wheels.

The basic prerequisite - a trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.

Evaluation - is the BMW X3 suitable as a towing vehicle?: The motor vehicle pulls ordinary 2400 kg . The feed is provided by the torque of 500 Nm. The BMW X3 is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
