1996 BMW 740iL Questions & Answers

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 740iL? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your 740iL towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 740iL is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my 740iL's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your BMW 740iL’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 BMW 740iL transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 740iL, potentially causing transmission problems.
