2008 BMW X3 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my BMW X3 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW X3, potentially causing transmission problems.
