Questions About 2000 BMW M5’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your M5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • Does my M5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2000 M5’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can BMW M5 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW M5, potentially causing transmission problems.
