What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2024 BMW 330i xDrive

Your 330i xDrive’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2024 BMW 330i xDrive, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
