What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

When should I come in for BMW 525i differential service?

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

Is it possible to reset the 525i malfunction warning light on my 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.

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.

Does my 525i transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your 525i is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
