The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. BMW 525i transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let BMW 525i transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your 525i at all.

Questions About 1993 BMW 525i’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 525i? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 525i is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 525i transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1993 525i’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW 525i? Yes, your BMW 525i can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 525i ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  BMW 525i transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 525i transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a 525i with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 525i to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
