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.
