Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your M6’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my M6 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your M6's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue.

A drivetrain malfunction in your M6 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my M6’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your M6 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

2006 BMW M6 Drivetrain Service

Your M6 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your BMW, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 BMW M6, 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.

BMW M6 Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2006 BMW M6 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your BMW M6 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2006 BMW M6? Again, it depends!
