How does BMW drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

How often will I need BMW 850CSi 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my 850CSi?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your 850CSi’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the 850CSi check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your 850CSi, but it's important to resist the urge.

Your 850CSi drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 BMW 850CSi, 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.
