2003 BMW 330xi Questions & Answers

  • How much can I tow in a BMW 330xi? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2003 330xi’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed.
