Can BMW drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your BMW M6? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need BMW M6 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a M6’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your M6 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your M6’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my M6?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your M6. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.
