When should I come in for BMW 535i differential service?

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 535i?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Does my 535i drivetrain include the transmission?

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