Questions About 1990 BMW 325is

When you have drivetrain problems, you have driving problems. Check out our top 1990 BMW 325is drivetrain Q&A below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care with any drivetrain concerns.

  •  Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your BMW 325is, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for BMW 325is differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • Why is my 325is malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 325is can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can you reset your 325is’s malfunction warning light at home? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 325is? A drivetrain malfunction in your 325is should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.
  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 325is? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 325is’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 325is forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
