Weight

The BMW X3 2.0d with a Caravan with an actual weight of 0 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the BMW is in general very good. And also the weight of the Caravan with a User Payload (0 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Actual Weights

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the BMW is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 0%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 0%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 370 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is very good.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Robin Brown reviewed a BMW X3 2.0d:

"I have now towed for over 18 months and ~3000 miles with the X3 and it is an extremely stable and effective towcar. MPG towing has varied between 23 mpg, into a howling gale of a head wind whilst maintaining 60 mph in 5th gear, to 30 mpg with a slight following wind. (It is possible to get 42 mpg solo on motoway runs). A big advantage is being able to tow most of the time at 60 mph on the motorway in 6th gear. Also, it is possible to see through the caravan from the car interior mirror which helps at times. Traction on wet grass is excellent. Overall very pleased with this large comfortable car."
