What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 BMW M6

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your M6's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your BMW, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your M6’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2009 BMW M6 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.

What Are BMW M6 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 2009 BMW M6 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your BMW M6 may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your BMW M6 drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 BMW M6? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
