  • How much can my BMW tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 535is's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your BMW 535is transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
