2000 BMW 740i Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? 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.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 740i? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.
