How do I know if my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

How often will I need BMW 335i differential service?

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

What causes a 335i’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your 335i has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 335i’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. 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 worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 335i?

Does my 335i drivetrain include the transmission?
