The 2006 BMW X3 comes with a 3.0-liter V6 engine that can tow up to 3,500 pounds, similar to its rivals. It has a payload capacity of 1,025 pounds and a tongue weight of 300 pounds. The engine generates 225 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque @ 3,500 rpm. While the vehicle can handle decent towing, its ground clearance of 8.0 inches makes it unsuitable for off-road adventures. With a fuel capacity of 17.7 gallons, the 2006 X3 gets an average of 15 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, totaling 17 mpg. Expect slightly lower fuel efficiency when towing a trailer. If you frequently tow, be prepared for more frequent oil changes.
