2011 BMW 535i GT Questions & Answers

  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
