2006 BMW 530xi Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 530xi towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 530xi is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 530xi transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your BMW 530xi transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
