2012 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW Alpina B7L xDrive? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small.

  • Does my Alpina B7L xDrive's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2012 Alpina B7L xDrive’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your BMW. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, potentially causing transmission problems.
