Frequently Asked Questions
BMW offers several models suitable for towing. Check each model page for specific limits, or look up your car by registration for the most accurate data.
Towing limits vary by engine, transmission, and factory options. Use our towing calculator with your registration number for verified data, or check the VIN plate inside your driver's door.
It depends on the model and variant. Twin-axle caravans typically weigh 1,400-1,800 kg, so you'll need a BMW with a braked towing limit above that weight. Check the 85% rule as well. Your caravan's MTPLM should ideally be no more than 85% of your car's kerbweight.
Many modern BMW models offer factory-fit or dealer-fit detachable towbars. Check with your BMW dealer or refer to the options list for your specific model year.
