2012 BMW 335i xDrive Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 335i xDrive’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 335i xDrive is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my 335i xDrive's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your BMW 335i xDrive’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW 335i xDrive? Yes. BMW 335i xDrive transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
