2011 BMW 740i Transmission Q&A

  • How much can I tow in a BMW 740i? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 740i towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 740i is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my 740i's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your BMW 740i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my BMW 740i leak transmission fluid? Yes. BMW 740i transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
