************************ **************The maximum towing capacity of a BMW X3 can vary depending on the specific model, engine, and configuration. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here are some general guidelines for the maximum towing capacity of the BMW X3:
1. **BMW X3 xDrive30i and sDrive30i:** These models typically have a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,400 pounds (approximately 1,995 kilograms) when properly equipped.
2. **BMW X3 M40i:** The more powerful X3 M40i can generally tow up to 4,400 pounds as well, but it's important to check the specific details for the model year, as towing capacities can vary.
3. **BMW X3 xDrive30e (Plug-in Hybrid):** Towing capacity for the plug-in hybrid X3 xDrive30e is typically lower due to the hybrid powertrain. It may have a maximum towing capacity of around 3,500 pounds (approximately 1,587 kilograms).
Please note that these numbers are approximate and may change with different model years and configurations. Additionally, towing capacity can be influenced by factors such as the type of hitch, trailer, and towing equipment used. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on the towing capacity of a specific BMW X3 model, it's advisable to consult the owner's manual or contact a BMW dealership.
