2016 BMW X3 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW X3? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your X3 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your X3 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my X3's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 X3’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your BMW. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW X3? Yes. BMW X3 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Should I avoid driving my BMW X3 if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your X3 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
