Questions About 2008 BMW 535i’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 535i? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

  • 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW 535i? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 535i, potentially causing transmission problems.
