Weight

The BMW X3 2.0d with a Bailey Pageant S6 Bretagne with an actual weight of 1395 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

The motor preformance of the BMW is in general fairly good. And also the weight of the Bailey with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is good.

Performance

 

Weight

  • The towing limit of the BMW is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E (or B96) driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 69%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 76%.
  • There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
  • Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
  • Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 181 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is fairly good.
  • If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Robin Brown reviewed a BMW X3 2.0d:

"I have now towed for over 18 months and ~3000 miles with the X3 and it is an extremely stable and effective towcar. MPG towing has varied between 23 mpg, into a howling gale of a head wind whilst maintaining 60 mph in 5th gear, to 30 mpg with a slight following wind. (It is possible to get 42 mpg solo on motoway runs). A big advantage is being able to tow most of the time at 60 mph on the motorway in 6th gear. Also, it is possible to see through the caravan from the car interior mirror which helps at times. Traction on wet grass is excellent. Overall very pleased with this large comfortable car."
