2007 BMW X5 Questions & Answers

  • 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.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW X5? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your X5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your X5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my X5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your BMW X5 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can BMW X5 transmission fluid leak? Yes. BMW X5 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

You might even experience transmission failure.
