  • Can BMW service save me money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

  • How often should I come in for BMW 528i differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 my 528i malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? A multitude of problems can activate your 528i’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Is it possible to reset the 528i malfunction warning light on my own? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your 528i, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs.

  • Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 528i? Yes, the drivetrain system in your 528i includes the transmission.
