All About 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your ActiveHybrid 7'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 ActiveHybrid 7 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.

When to Get BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Drivetrain Repairs

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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your BMW could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your BMW ActiveHybrid 7.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Drivetrain Questions

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • Can BMW service save me 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 do I know if my BMW drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your BMW ActiveHybrid 7, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often will I need BMW ActiveHybrid 7 differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • Why is my ActiveHybrid 7 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your ActiveHybrid 7’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Can my ActiveHybrid 7 malfunction warning light be reset at home? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your ActiveHybrid 7’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my ActiveHybrid 7 serious? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your ActiveHybrid 7. 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 ActiveHybrid 7.
  • Is my ActiveHybrid 7’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the drivetrain system in your ActiveHybrid 7 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your ActiveHybrid 7 forward.
