2014 BMW 550i GT Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 550i GT? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem.

Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 550i GT is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

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