What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1984 BMW 533i

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 533i's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels.

You can minimize repairs by following BMW's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
