How does BMW drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged BMW drivetrain system?

Your BMW X4 drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often should I come in for BMW X4 differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a X4’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your X4’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Is it possible to reset the X4 malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your X4's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your X4.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my X4?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your X4. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your X4.

Is my X4’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your X4’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your X4 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 BMW X4

Your X4 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your BMW, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your X4 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2020 BMW X4 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to BMW's recommendations.

What Are BMW X4 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2020 BMW X4 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your BMW X4 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your BMW X4 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2020 BMW X4 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
