Questions About 2011 BMW X3’s Transmission

  • How much can my BMW tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your X3 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

  • When should I have my X3's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 X3’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my BMW X3 leak transmission fluid? Yes. BMW X3 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
