Noises toward the back of your BMW 335i xDrive, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for BMW 335i xDrive differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 335i xDrive?

Can my 335i xDrive malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 335i xDrive?
