How often should the transmission fluid be changed in a BMW 3 Series?
1 Answers
BMW 3 Series requires transmission fluid change every 80,000 kilometers. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to gear shift jerking and may damage the transmission's shift control mechanism. The BMW 3 Series is a sporty B-segment sedan under the BMW brand, equipped with ZF's 8AT transmission. This model has been localized for production in China, with the domestic version featuring three engine options: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a medium-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 156 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm; the medium-power version produces 184 horsepower and 300 Nm of maximum torque; while the high-power variant generates 258 horsepower and 400 Nm of maximum torque.
