  •  Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.
  • What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your BMW 328is, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need BMW 328is differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • Why is my 328is malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 328is’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can you reset your 328is’s malfunction warning light at home? It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 328is, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your 328is to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

  • Does my 328is transmission belong to the drivetrain system? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your 328is 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.
