Can BMW service save me money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your BMW Alpina B7, 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 should I come in for BMW Alpina B7 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.

What causes a Alpina B7’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Alpina B7’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you reset your Alpina B7’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Alpina B7?

If your Alpina B7 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Alpina B7?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Alpina B7’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Alpina B7 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

2022 BMW Alpina B7 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Alpina B7's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your BMW, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Alpina B7 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2022 BMW Alpina B7, 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.

Your Alpina B7 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
