What’s the Importance of Your 2016 Z4’s Transmission?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2016 BMW Z4 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore BMW Z4 transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Z4 at all.

Questions About 2016 BMW Z4’s Transmission

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a BMW Z4? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Z4 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Z4 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Z4 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 Z4’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my BMW Z4? Yes, your BMW Z4 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Z4 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.
