BMW Greensboro NC | BMW Transmission Problems

BMW Repair Greensboro NC
BMW Repair Greensboro NC

On In recent times, BMW has announced the recall of thousands of its 7 Series and 5 Series cars for defective transmissions. While drivetrain issues have been detected on several Series 3 cars, the most glaring BMW transmission problems have been with the 7 Series, with over 45,000 units being recalled to replace their automatic transmission. At Eurobahn Motorsports we want to be your go to service advisor for any concerns about your BMW Greensboro NC. A brief overview of these problems reveals poor manufacturing and insufficient quality control as some of the high-level causes of these failures.

Rough downshift – One of the primary problems reported with the BMW 7 Series E65 and E66 has been the excessive amount of play and rough shifting between the 2nd and 1st gears while slowing down. Some owners have reported similar problems when rapidly shifting from the 2nd to 3rd gears. Mechanics and analysts believe that this problem may have less to do with sensors or the on-board computer but may be the result of a defective solenoid.

On-board Computer Defects – Another common issue with the BMW 7 and BMW 5 series is the failure of the on-board computer during gear changes or even when the car is started up for the first time. While DIY solutions such as unplugging and a manual reset of the computer have been recommended, owners are advised to contact us for BMW Repair Greensboro NC for a comprehensive diagnosis and solution to the problem.

It is highly recommended to have your car serviced by a certified BMW specialist before the problem turns into something more expensive.

Disengaged and Unresponsive Gearshift – One of the newer complaints about the BMW transmission problems is that the transmission disengages from a running gear into neutral or does not shift out of a specific gear—usually the 2nd or reverse gear. A defective gear selection switch or bad sensors are suspected to be the cause of these problems. To get this transmission issue fixed come to BMW service center Greensboro NC at Eurobahn Motorsports and our Factory Trained Technicians will take great care of you!

In increasing number of power train problems on account of inferior parts seems to be largely restricted to automatic transmissions although some manual transmission have reported similar problems that remain a concern for mechanics and customers alike.

BMW Recommended Service Intervals- Greensboro, NC

Most people in the Triad area are aware that automotive manufacturers have recommended service intervals. Following recommended service intervals is very important. The engineers that design our vehicles have tested the various systems and components to meet durability and safety standards.

BMW-MINI Mercedes-Benz & Audi Schedule Service Intervals
Schedule Service Intervals

The maintenance schedules are designed to achieve the standards. Think of the benefits of following recommended intervals as falling into three general categories: Protection, Efficiency and Safety.

Protection. Let’s start with motor oil. First of all, the engineers recommend a particular weight and type of motor oil for your sedan. All of their oil change recommendations assume using the proper motor oil. Motor oil contains detergents and other additives that clean the engine and provide corrosion resistance. Over time, the additives are depleted. The oil also becomes contaminated by water, dirt and combustion gases.

Extending your interval beyond the recommendation means that your sedan engine will be operating without the full protection of fresh motor oil. It also means that sludge can form in contaminated oil and clog up passages in the engine, starving parts from needed lubrication.

Efficiency. Some services are designed to keep automotive systems operating efficiently. For example, the fuel system gets clogged up with gum and varnish from the fuel. Fuel doesn’t flow efficiently which reduces fuel economy. A fuel system cleaning restores the fuel system’s efficiency and increases your gas mileage.

Safety. Your brakes are obviously one of the most important safety systems on your sedan. The manufacturer has scheduled brake pad replacement as well as power brake fluid drain and replacement intervals. Because brakes are so important, a brake inspection is also on the schedule to head off problems before they result in an accident.

Check your owner’s manual for recommended service schedules or talk with an Expert service advisor at Eurobahn Motorsports by calling 336-542-3555. You’ll find our shop located at 303 S. Swing Rd, Greensboro North Carolina, 27409.

You may be surprised to learn that various inspections may be on your list of factory recommendations for your sedan. These inspections are usually at major intervals like fifteen or thirty thousand miles. They’re designed to uncover important parts that may be close to failing.

Your sedan owner’s manual can tell you when to change your oil, but it can’t tell you that you have a radiator hose that’s bulging and about to burst. For that you need a trained auto technician. These scheduled inspections are in addition to the multi-point inspections done with a full-service oil change.

Replace Your Wiper Blades- Greensboro, NC

Having a good pair of windshield wipers is extremely important. We’ve all experienced the frustration and fear of not being able to see clearly during a storm, or when our windshield is just dirty.

BMW windshield wiper

It seems like your wiper blades are always at their worst when you need them the most. But windshield wipers are like most other vehicle parts– they require regular attention in order to work their best.

You really ought to replace your wiper blades twice a year; in the spring and the fall. If it’s going to be a particularly harsh winter in Greensboro, you may even want to get special winter blades in the fall. Winter blades are designed to resist freezing.

Speaking of winter and freezing conditions, if your car has been sitting for a long time and the windshield becomes frozen, don’t use your wipers to clear off snow and ice. That’ll just tear up the blades and cause them to wear out more quickly. It may even damage the wiper motor.

Over time, wiper blades become hard and brittle, and then tear. They also lose their flexibility and just don’t cover the windshield effectively.

Worn wiper blades aren’t just a safety hazard; they can also scratch your windshield. That may require replacing the entire windshield; a big cost for such a little part.

Replace worn blades right away. Your local service center can provide you with a quality replacement blade. They cost about the same as they would at the store; but installation is included at Eurobahn Motorsports.

Of course you also need washer fluid to help your blades do their work. Even though your local Greensboro service center will top off the washer fluid with a full service oil change, it is a good idea to have some extra fluid at home, or in the car if you are on a long trip.

Always use windshield washer fluid. Plain water, even that fancy bottled water, may freeze in the fluid reservoir or on the windshield itself, making things worse. Besides, water won’t do a good job of cleaning your windows.

And remember that some vehicles have two reservoirs: one for the windshield and one for the back window – which may be under the hood or somewhere in the back. Schedule A service Today!

Suspension Service in Greensboro, NC

When you hear the word ‘suspension‘, you may think back to those energetic days of grade school. Well, your car’s suspension is actually a good thing because it keeps your car up off the road and helps provide a comfy ride. It needs to keep your wheels firmly planted over bumps and through curves. Your suspension system has many parts. If you look under your car, it’s basically everything that connects your wheels to the car’s frame. These are heavy duty parts that do a lot of work. They need to be inspected for damage and excessive wear at least once a year. A good time for this is when you get your annual alignment service.

BMW Alignment Service Greensboro NC

Here are some warning signs that your suspension may have problems:

the car pulls to one side;

it wanders;

the steering is erratic;

you see uneven tire wear;

you experience a poor ride or handling;

you see oil leaking from shocks

. . . You just don’t feel in control when you’re driving.

Some suspension parts just wear out with use. Shocks and struts eventually lose their ability to control your ride. Wheel bearings need to be repacked every couple of years. And some suspension pieces need to be lubricated when you get your oil changed. Your service advisor at Eurobahn BMW Greensboro, NC can oversee an inspection and tell you what problems you may have.

If you’re in an accident, your suspension can be damaged or knocked out of alignment. Even a minor accident, like hitting a curb around Greensboro, NC or even a large rock can mess things up. With a minor accident it’s tempting to just get an alignment or wheel balance to correct the problem. But if there’s some damage, a simple alignment won’t actually fix the problem, and you’ll just have to align it again after the repairs are made. So if you have an accident, get your suspension system inspected right away. Suspension problems should be fixed immediately because they can lead to unsafe handling.

One big cause of suspension damage is potholes – those nasty magnets that seem to draw our tires right into them. Well, Here are some tips for avoiding damage from potholes: First, keep your tires at their full air pressure. That gives tires their maximum resiliency and will hopefully keep your wheels or other suspension parts from crunching on a big hole. Next, just pay attention. When you see a hole you can’t miss, slow down before you hit it. Driving at a slower speed will limit the damage, and may keep your drink from spilling. But don’t brake directly over the pothole. That will cause the car’s weight to shift forward and add to the potential damage. Schedule Your Appointment Today!
