What are signs my BMW drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your BMW M440i, 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 will I need BMW M440i 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my M440i?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your M440i’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the M440i malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your M440i’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my M440i serious?

All About 2024 BMW M440i Drivetrain Service

Your M440i’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It’s one of your M440i’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2024 BMW M440i, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.

When to Get BMW M440i Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2024 BMW M440i drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your M440i might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your BMW M440i doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2024 BMW M440i? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
