2018 BMW i3s Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW i3s? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your i3s towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my i3s's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your BMW i3s’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my BMW i3s leak transmission fluid? Yes, your BMW i3s can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your i3s ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
