What’s the Importance of Your 2021 X3’s Transmission?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your X3’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2021 BMW X3 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let BMW X3 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your X3’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2021 BMW X3’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your X3’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my X3's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 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. 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? 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.
  • Who does BMW X3 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for X3 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my BMW X3 if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your X3 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
