Can BMW service save me money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Your BMW 635CSi drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

When should I come in for BMW 635CSi differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 635CSi?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 635CSi’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the 635CSi malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 635CSi's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your 635CSi.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my 635CSi?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 635CSi. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 635CSi.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my 635CSi?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 635CSi includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your 635CSi forward.
