Which is the best BMW to tow 3.5ton / 3500kg? The BMW X5 is a great choice for towing 3.5 tons, as it has a towing capacity of up to 7,200 lbs and a powerful engine. The X5 comes with a standard 3.0-liter inline-six engine that produces 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to easily handle the weight of 3.5 tons.I have it from "unofficial sources" that the X5 was tremendously underrated as regards its towing capacity. A "well respected" BMW driver (that just won a touring car championship) uses an X5 to tow a Catarmaran that weighs 9 or 10k Lbs. His claim is that the X5 is the best thing he's ever used as a tow vehicle (gave up a 1 ton GMC in favor of it).
