Questions About 2015 BMW 550i’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your 550i towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • How often does my 550i transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your BMW 550i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my BMW 550i leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 550i, 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.
