Bought myself a BMW X3 last year.

If anybody else has an X3 what towing mirrors do you use or if anybody else has any suggestions as to which ones would be best for me.

At the moment I use Milenco Grand Aero 3 but they don’t fit snugly,tend to come loose whilst traveling,fitted a treat on my last car Honda CR-V.

seems to be the shape and angle of the car mirror that’s the problem,with the near side towing mirror it’s hard to see down the side of the caravan unless you turn your head to the left as far as you can due to the angle of the car mirror

Not sure if X3 mirrors are same shape as X5, but copied below is my posting from a similar thread about my X5:

I too recently bought a 2019 X5 (although an X30D)  and was helped by the dealer, as a member of staff had previously purchased mirrors which did fit, and they brought them in to confirm to me which brand did fit.

I purchased this brand (EMUK) from Germany by phone. They spoke perfect English, and sent me English links to enable me to order, after first establishing beyond doubt that they were the correct ones. And the mirrors took all of 48 hours to arrive at my home, from Germany.

This is the website https://www.autoteile-herr.de/

and the phone number +4923719210691

Ask for Stefanie, she is most helpful, and says she smiles at the many times she gets orders from uK.

worth having a look, or chat with them. The EMUK mirrors are the most solidly connected I’ve ever used.

We purchased our caravan at the end of June this year and the sales person kindly said that he would fit a pair of  Milenco Grand Aero 3 towing mirrors to my car.  We own a BMW X3 and at the time we did not know about the problems that other X3 owners were having with these mirrors.While the sales person was fitting the mirrors we heard a crack and on closer inspection the outer casing on my mirror had a small crack.

The dealer did agree to replace the damaged item however further investigation into the Milenco mirrors revealed that there was indeed a problem with their mirrors in regard to the X3. Even on the Milenco web site it mentions this. I tried fitting the Milenco mirrors again but to me they just didn't fit right and I lost complete confidence in them. I looked at other mirrors and finally purchased a pair of EMUK towing mirrors which I must say are brilliant. They cost a bit more but they  are solid and easy to fit. We have decided to sell our caravan as we have now purchased a motor home. So if any body knows some one who needs a pair of EMUK mirrors that are virtually new, please let me know.

I know this post is a little old now, but as a new caravan owner with an X3 I’d be interested in your mirrors if you still have them? Let me know! Thanks

I have a BMW X3 g01 2021 and have emuk 100071 mirrors which I bought from Amazon, as emuk don't deliver to the UK post brexit. Expensive but worth every penny. Fit perfectly.
