What’s the Importance of Your 2020 X5’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2020 BMW X5 transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore BMW X5 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your X5 isn’t working at all.

2020 BMW X5 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my BMW X5 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your BMW X5, 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.
  • Who does BMW X5 transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for X5 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my BMW X5 with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your X5 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
