2012 BMW 650i xDrive Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my 650i xDrive transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your BMW 650i xDrive 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.
