The 2012 BMW X3 can tow up to 3500 pounds, regardless of the trim level, as there is no towing package upgrade offered for this vehicle. It has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, making it suitable for most trailers. However, its payload capacity is limited to just under 1000 pounds, allowing for more towing capacity than interior cargo space. The base model has a torque output of 221 lb-ft, while the top-of-the-line engine models deliver 300 lb-ft of torque.
