Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

  • Can BMW service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system? Your BMW 535i drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • When should I come in for BMW 535i differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 535i?

The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 535i's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

  • 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.
