Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save 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 M4, 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 M4 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a M4?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your M4 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the M4 malfunction warning light on my own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your M4, but it's important to resist the urge.

The best course of action is to bring your M4 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my M4?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your M4. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your M4.

Does my M4 drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your M4. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2018 BMW M4 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your M4's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It’s one of your M4’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2018 BMW M4 to maintain its performance power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are BMW M4 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2018 BMW M4 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your BMW could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your BMW M4.

How much does it cost to fix your 2018 BMW M4 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
