Questions About 2012 BMW 128i’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
