1988 BMW 750iL Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW 750iL? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, 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 750iL is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my 750iL transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 750iL’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW 750iL? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW 750iL, potentially causing transmission problems.
