Symptoms of Gearbox Problems
Your BMW is a high-performance machine, but it may eventually experience gearbox issues like all vehicles. If you notice unusual noises when changing gears, experience slipping gears, or detect a burnt smell, these could be signs of a gearbox problem. A delay in vehicle movement despite a gear shift or a persistent check engine light could also indicate gearbox-related issues.
Remember, these signs are your car's way of crying for help. Addressing these symptoms promptly will prevent further damage and maintain the impeccable performance you've come to expect from your BMW.
