Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2012 BMW Z4 transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.

2012 BMW Z4 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your BMW? 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 Z4? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Z4’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Z4's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your BMW Z4’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your BMW's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my BMW Z4? Yes. BMW Z4 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
