2013 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Transmission Q&A

  • 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.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Alpina B7L xDrive is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Alpina B7L xDrive's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive? Yes, your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive can develop a transmission fluid leak.
