Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your BMW 840Ci, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for BMW 840Ci differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Can my 840Ci malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your 840Ci's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your 840Ci. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your 840Ci.

Does my 840Ci transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your 840Ci. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 1994 BMW 840Ci Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 840Ci's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your 840Ci and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 BMW 840Ci, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following BMW's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
