What Does Your BMW X3 Transmission Do?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2018 BMW X3 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let BMW X3 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your X3 at all.

Questions About 2018 BMW X3’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your BMW's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to 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. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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 2018 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? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW X3, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Is it okay to drive a X3 with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
