Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 535d?

A multitude of problems can activate your 535d’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 535d malfunction warning light on my own?

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 535d's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 535d.

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 535d’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your 535d forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
