Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your BMW 335xi, 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 335xi differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

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

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 335xi’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the 335xi check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my 335xi?

A drivetrain malfunction in your 335xi should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 335xi?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 335xi’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 335xi forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
