2002 BMW X5 Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW X5? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your X5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system.

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 X5? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW X5, potentially causing transmission problems.
