When should I come in for BMW 530e differential service?

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

What causes a 530e’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 530e's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 530e. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 530e.

Does my 530e transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your 530e. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
