BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Towbars

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo

The BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo (GT) is a unique blend of a sporty sedan and a practical hatchback. It was part of BMW’s F34 generation, introduced in 2013 and produced until 2019.

Built on a longer wheelbase than the regular 3 Series sedan, which means more rear legroom and a bigger cargo area.

While the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is not a traditional towing vehicle like an SUV or pickup, the GT offers enough muscle for small to mid-size trailers, boats, or campers.

More about BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Towbars

Adding a towbar takes the practicality of this vehicle even further—making it capable of towing small trailers, camper vans, or bike racks with ease. For full towing functionality, you’ll need a dedicated wiring kit, often available in 7-pin (for basic trailer lighting) or 13-pin (for caravans and advanced towing features). Dedicated kits are designed to communicate with the BMW’s onboard systems, ensuring safety features like trailer stability control work as intended.

What is the Towing Capacity for a BMW 3 Series GT?

Towing capacity depends on the specific engine and drivetrain but generally has a towing capacity of approximately 1,800kg's. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.

Which Towbar is best for my BMW 3 Series GT?

The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.

Will my BMW 3 Series GT need a bumper cut?

A bumper cut is not required for this vehicle. However, the bumper will need removing for the fitment and will be replaced once complete.
