They're often easy to notice. BMW 745i transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let BMW 745i transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your 745i’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2004 BMW 745i’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 745i? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 745i is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 745i transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your BMW 745i’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can BMW 745i transmission fluid leak? Yes. BMW 745i 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.
  • Who fixes BMW 745i transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair 745i transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my BMW 745i if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your 745i with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
