What Does Your BMW 535i Transmission Do?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. BMW 535i transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore BMW 535i transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your 535i’s not even driveable.

1993 BMW 535i Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use 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 small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 535i’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 535i is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 535i's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your BMW 535i 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my BMW 535i leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 535i, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Is it okay to drive a 535i with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your 535i if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
