Why is Your 2000 M5’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2000 BMW M5 transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let BMW M5 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your M5’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2000 BMW M5’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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 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. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your M5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • 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. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
