What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2013 BMW M6

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your M6's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your M6 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2013 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 fix many 2013 BMW M6 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your BMW could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for 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. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your BMW M6 drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2013 BMW M6 drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.

2013 BMW M6 Drivetrain Questions

When you have drivetrain problems, you have driving problems. Check out our top 2013 BMW M6 drivetrain Q&A below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care with any drivetrain concerns.

  • Can BMW service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • How do I know if my BMW drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your BMW M6, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for BMW M6 differential service? We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.
  • What causes a M6’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? A multitude of problems can activate your M6’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Can you clear the M6 check engine light on your own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your M6’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my M6 serious? 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? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your M6’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your M6 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
