How often should I come in for BMW 740i xDrive differential service?

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

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a 740i xDrive?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your 740i xDrive can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the 740i xDrive check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is my 740i xDrive’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your 740i xDrive’s drivetrain.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2019 BMW 740i xDrive

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 740i xDrive's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your 740i xDrive and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2019 BMW 740i xDrive, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following BMW's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are BMW 740i xDrive Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2019 BMW 740i xDrive drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your 740i xDrive might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your BMW 740i xDrive doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2019 BMW 740i xDrive drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
