2018 BMW X6 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my BMW's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a BMW? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your X6 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your X6 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my X6's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your BMW X6 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW X6? Yes, your BMW X6 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your X6 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

You might even experience transmission failure.
