2008 BMW Alpina B7 Transmission Q&A

  • 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 Alpina B7? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Alpina B7 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Alpina B7 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your BMW Alpina B7’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my BMW Alpina B7 leak transmission fluid? Yes. BMW Alpina B7 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
