Can BMW service save me money?

When should I come in for BMW M8 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 triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a M8?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your M8’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the M8 check engine light on your own?

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 M8's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your M8.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my M8?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your M8, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my M8?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your M8 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your M8 forward.

All About 2024 BMW M8 Drivetrain Service

Your M8 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2024 BMW M8, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow BMW's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
