2004 BMW 325i Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 325i’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 325i's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your BMW 325i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW 325i? Yes, your BMW 325i can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 325i ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  BMW 325i transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 325i transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 325i with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 325i to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
