Can BMW service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Your BMW 325es drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for BMW 325es differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 325es?

If your 325es has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the 325es check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 325es’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my 325es serious?
