Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your BMW, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW X3? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW X3, potentially causing transmission problems.
