What’s the Importance of Your 1994 540i’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 540i’s performance. They're often easy to notice. BMW 540i transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore BMW 540i transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your 540i’s not even driveable.

1994 BMW 540i Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my BMW tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 540i’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my 540i's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your BMW 540i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your BMW. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW 540i? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 540i, 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.
  • Who fixes BMW 540i transmission leaks? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 540i transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my BMW 540i if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 540i to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
