What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2021 BMW 430i xDrive

Your 430i xDrive’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2021 BMW 430i xDrive, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following BMW's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
