2011 BMW 740i Transmission Q&A

  • 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.
  • 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. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your BMW. 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. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
