Hear noises toward the back of your BMW 530i? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for BMW 530i differential service?

Can my 530i malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your 530i’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2019 BMW 530i

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 530i's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your 530i’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2019 BMW 530i to maintain its performance power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
