What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 BMW 740i xDrive

Your 740i xDrive drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It’s one of your 740i xDrive’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2018 BMW 740i xDrive to maintain its performance power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are BMW 740i xDrive Drivetrain Repairs

We can fix many 2018 BMW 740i xDrive drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your BMW 740i xDrive may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2018 BMW 740i xDrive?

These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need BMW 740i xDrive differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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 my 740i xDrive malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 740i xDrive’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

  • Does my 740i xDrive drivetrain include the transmission? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 740i xDrive’s drivetrain.
