BMW X3 Towing Capacity: Engine Specs

Which configuration and optional towing features will equip the X3 to reach its potential? To make the most of your 4,400-pound BMW X3 towing capacity, opt for the trailer hitch feature and the twin-turbocharged V6 engine option. This muscular engine is only available on the top M40i trim level, but you’ll still get impressive towing power from the turbo-4 base engine. Compare the BMW X3 specs by engine:

2.0L TwinPower Turbo Inline 4-Cylinder Engine

• 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque

• 893 pounds maximum payload

3.0L M Performance TwinPower Turbo V6 Engine
