Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum towing capacity for a BMW X4?

The maximum towing capacity for a BMW X4 ranges from 1,650 kg to 2,700 kg depending on model year, engine, and equipment. Models with the towing package and larger engines can tow heavier loads.

Does the BMW X4 require a special towing package?

For optimal towing performance, BMW recommends their factory towing package which includes enhanced cooling systems, transmission protection, and trailer stability control. This package increases the maximum towing capacity significantly.

How does model year affect towing capacity?

Newer BMW X4 models (2023+) typically have slightly higher towing capacities due to engine improvements and structural enhancements. Always check your owner’s manual for your specific model year.

Are there different towing limits for different countries?

Yes, towing regulations vary significantly between countries. For example, the UK and EU follow different standards than the US and Canada. Always verify local regulations before towing.

Can I tow without the factory towing package?

While it’s physically possible, BMW significantly reduces the maximum towing capacity when the factory package isn’t installed (typically 750kg without vs 2,400kg+ with the package). We strongly recommend using the factory package for safety.
