Maintain your drivetrain to help maintain vehicle power. Our technicians are trained to perform 1998 BMW 740iL drivetrain services. Schedule your appointment today.
Your 740iL drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your BMW, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your 740iL’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1998 BMW 740iL, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
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 1998 BMW 740iL drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your 740iL might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your BMW 740iL doesn’t drive like it used to.
How much does it cost to fix your 1998 BMW 740iL drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
