Questions About 2000 BMW 328i’s Transmission

  • 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.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 328i? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 328i’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my 328i's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your BMW 328i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your BMW. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can BMW 328i transmission fluid leak? Yes, your BMW 328i can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 328i 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.
  • Who does BMW 328i transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 328i transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my BMW 328i if it has 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 328i to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
