Expert Answers about BMW X3


  • WeatherTech Cargo Liner Fit for 2020 BMW X3 Hybrid
  • The WeatherTech Cargo Liner - Black # WT401086 is the correct firt for your 2020 BMW X3 Hybrid as long as you don't have the optional spare tire. If you have the optional spare tire then you will use # WT401087 instead. The manufacturer doesn't specify a different shape for the Hybrid model. If you are still concerned about that, then I recommend using the Universal Fit # WT11AVMCB which can be trimmed to shape instead of the custom molding.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2012 BMW X3 Without Roof Rails
  • For your 2012 BMW X3 with a naked roof, I recommend the Vortex Aero aluminum crossbars # RRVA126B-2. The vortex strips in the C-channels will reduce wind noise and the weight capacity is 165 pounds. I would take a look at your owners manual on your X3 to view the roof weight capacity before you load anything onto your roof. The legs you will need are the 2500 series legs # RRRLKVA and custom DK clamps and pads are # DK295. Take a look at the video review I included. It will provide you...

  • Can I Run the GPS on my Phone While Also Using the Curt Echo Brake Controller
  • As long as your phone's GPS mapping can work in the background, you can still operate the Curt Echo # C51180. In reality, the Echo works by sensing the braking of the vehicle and applies your trailer brakes, so even if the app isn't open, the brakes are still going to work. It is recommended that you leave the app open and the phone on though in the event that you would need to manually engage the trailer brakes. But you can flip back and forth to check the map for a short time if needs...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for BMW 2021 X3
  • According to the linked installation instructions, no reprogramming is required to install the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 76226. The hitch is a fit for all models of the 2021 BMW X3 xDrive 30i and M40i. Sometimes, if a dealer installed trailer wiring harness is installed, the vehicle computer will need to be re-flashed, but the same isn't true for aftermarket trailer wiring which are designed to stand alone. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System For Cargo Trailer With 7000-Lb Gross Weight Capacity
  • When using weight distribution you want to find a system where the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer tongue weight added to any cargo behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle falls close to the middle of the system tongue weight range. If you are around 500-lbs I recommend going with a system like the Reese Strait-Line, part # RP66083. The tongue weight range for this system is between 400 and 800 lbs. The system does not come with a hitch ball so for a 2-inch ball I recommend...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Class III # 75371 for 2008 BMW X3 Require Drilling for Installation
  • The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75371 does in fact require drilling during the installation process. You will need to drill two holes into the bumper in order to support the hitch at the middle bracket. I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this to give you a clearer idea of what this involves. The drilling steps are on page 2. The other trailer hitch available for your 2008 BMW X3 is the Curt Class III # 13573 which does not require drilling....

  • Will the Thule Force XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH625 Fit with Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
  • The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B will properly fit onto the Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 for your 2012 BMW X3. The maximum crossbar dimensions for the Thule Cargo Box to mount properly are 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar dimensions are smaller than both of those measurements (3-1/8 inches wide, 1-3/16 inches tall).

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2015 BMW X3 with 275/35-20 Sized Tires
  • I looked at an online copy of the owner's manual for your 2015 BMW X3 and it does not list 275/35 R20 as a tire size. If they're aftermarket tires you might want to check with BMW to see what size they say to use because the manual says not to use chains with anything larger than 245/45 R19. With that being said I recommend getting the lowest profile chain that will fit your tires which are the Konig K-Summit K45 # TH02230K45. They ride only on the tire tread so there is no internal...

  • Thule Doubletrack # TH92BJ vs. Swagman Chinook # S64683
  • The real benefits that you get from the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT # TH92BJ is that it weighs 32 lbs, it is made right here in the USA, and the trays are a little more customizable since they are on their own "tracks". If you don't mind the extra 15 lbs of the Swagman Chinook # S64683 and you are able to utilize the wheel trays just fine (which typically isn't a problem) then I recommend the Chinook. It is at a lower price point, comes with everything that the Doubletrack does, has the higher...
