BMW 335d xdrive

Have a look at the clubs matching service, it should be of some help with your decision.

I would have thought that with a permissible towload of 1800kg and all that power it would make an ideal towcar.

Agree with Lutz. My only advice would be to avoid the M Sport version. It comes with 20” wheels, thin hard tyres and suspension so hard that if you drive it over a two shilling piece you can tell if it’s heads or tails! . That’s not original, it’s what they used to say about Morgans!

Don’t know which version X3 you are thinking of but the G01 model is superb.

Only thing I would add is that the 3 series is not a very big car, don't know how much stuff you carry, but if I were looking at a beemer of that ilk for towing I would be looking at 5 series touring and if budget stretches the 530d x drive which would be a superb towcar.

It does depend on the size of caravan. I have had three BMW 3 series over the years, all have been good tow cars but I tow small caravans upto 1200 kg these cars have always been the 2.0 engine ie 320d. No problems encountered.

The 335d will be superb providing the weights are matched.

I have a 325d Touring non xdrive and it tows brilliantly. It has bags of power and torque and is very stable when towing. It tows my 1380kg van with no hassle. I would imagine the extra power of the 335d and the 4 wheel drive would be even better 👍🏼

Have recently changed from the F11 520d SE tourer (rear wheel drive only) to the G31 520d M tourer with xdrive. It tows our Lunar Clubman SI without any problems, if anything better than the previous car. Highly recommend, despite a comment about the low profile tyres, the ride when towing is very positive and comfortable.

First BMW was a 320d, towed a Bailey Olympus 406 without problems, moved to the bigger car for the extra kerb weight.
