  • How much can my BMW tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 550i GT’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my 550i GT transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your BMW 550i GT 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.
