X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

Towing capacity on X5

Does anybody know what the towing capacity on a X5 3.0 is? Or can you even tow anything with the X5?

Thanks in advanced.

Your very welcome. Yeah the manual is tricky, I do read over at the X5 forum at roadfly to gain information about our car, I have learned alot from some of the people there, some of them are smart and some are mean, so I just pay attention to the smart nice ones. lol.

I spend most of my time at DTM and have just started visiting here in the X5 forum, cause it's finally "UP AND COMING".

Do you have steptronic and what are the total spec's of your car, I really cant wait till Sunday because I have never had the oppurtunity to meet a fellow x5 owner. Last month there was a planned meet of X5 owners and a drive but it was cancelled and rescheduled for this month sometime, but nothing yet.

Katt,
Yes...it does have the steptronic..but compared to the Lexus IS steptronic or any other manufacturers' its really slow... it has a brief pause before it shifts...im not too happy with that part...but overall i love the SAV. As for specs...im really not too sure. Im still a newbie when it comes to the X5s. Sorry.

As for Sunday brunch...wasnt a guy named Eric w/ Blue X5 4.4 Full Hamann kit there?

I have had my car for 9 months and barley used the step like a month ago, and I have not used it since so, so much for that.

I didnt go to last weeks brunch, but I did see his car at the wheel/tuning meet, hope he goes this weeks also.
