Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your BMW 650i Gran Coupe, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need BMW 650i Gran Coupe differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 650i Gran Coupe?

If your 650i Gran Coupe has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the 650i Gran Coupe check engine light on your 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 650i Gran Coupe'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 650i Gran Coupe.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my 650i Gran Coupe?

Does my 650i Gran Coupe transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your 650i Gran Coupe 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 650i Gran Coupe forward.
