Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

Is it possible to reset the 325i malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Is my 325i’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your 325i is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
