All About 2022 BMW M5 Drivetrain Service

Your M5 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2022 BMW M5, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
