How often should I come in for BMW M850i xDrive differential service?

What causes a M850i xDrive’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Is it possible to reset the M850i xDrive malfunction warning light on my own?

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.

Does my M850i xDrive transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your M850i xDrive 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 M850i xDrive forward.
