Which Gearbox BMW X6 do I need?
Although replacing the gearbox is not the only solution, it is the best one when there are serious problems. In some cases, a conventional repair or maintenance will only alleviate the symptoms and delay the end of the part's life, without any real guarantee. It is therefore better to anticipate things and to inform yourself properly about the type of box that should eventually be purchased.
You will find that there are many references on the market. This is because the Gearbox automatic BMW X6 is not exactly the same depending on the generation to which your SUV belongs.
The Gearbox X6 e71 is referred to if you drive a vehicle produced between 2008 and 2014. Until 2009, 6-speed automatics are built into the 305bhp xDrive 35i petrol engine, 406bhp xDrive 50i and the 235bhp xDrive 30d diesel version. In contrast, the 30d xDrive AWD 245 hp and xDrive 35d 285 hp come with an 8-speed BMW X6 automatic gearbox. From 2010 onwards, BMW is equipping its X6s exclusively with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, a change that accompanies the expansion of the engine range. The ActiveHybrid 485 hp engine is supplied with a Tiptronic, while the petrol and diesel engines remain with a Steptronic gearbox.
It should be noted that the Steptronic offers you the possibility to select your gears manually. However, the on-board computer can take control at any time if it deems it necessary.
The Tiptronic gearbox is different in that it allows you to exercise full manual control.
The X6 automatic gearbox found on the F16 generation produced from 2014 to 2019 is a Steptronic which is also fitted to the factory model from 2019.
Overall, there are small differences, but it is still essential to ensure that the part numbers are compatible when you buy a new BVA. As the design of the SUV has evolved over the years, the type of gearbox that can transmit power to the drive wheels may differ depending on the exact model. The part number is always stamped on the product. If you have difficulty identifying it, seek professional help.
How to fix X6 problem Gearbox ?
Automatic and robotised transmissions show the same wear signals. Jerking when starting and accelerating are the most common. You may also hear a grunting sound from the gearbox when you are driving. Difficulty in downshifting may also indicate that your transmission needs repair.
Car mechanics are much more complex than one might imagine. Despite the comprehensive files that tell us how to solve the various faults, there is no guarantee that the repairs undertaken will actually produce the desired effect. This is because there are multiple malfunctions that can result in the same signs. The only way to pinpoint the cause of the problem and the appropriate solution is to carry out a personal diagnosis.
The quality and quantity of the oil Gearbox BMW X6 are equally important. They ensure optimum lubrication of the transmission system, thus preventing premature wear of the components, malfunctions and the consequences of any malfunction. If the lubricant is the cause of the breakdown, an oil change Gearbox BMW X6 could be recommended. However, this is not a systematic decision, as refilling can be an alternative to changing the oil Gearbox automatic BMW X6.
The problem Gearbox BMW X6 necessarily concerns a BVA, which is even more fastidious to repair. The adjustments are indeed more complex than with a manual gearbox. In most cases, a complete reprogramming is necessary to restore the full performance of the gearbox. This requires specific tools and know-how that can only be acquired after many years of training and practice. Do not attempt to repair the gearbox yourself!
Beware of confusion with the BMW X6 transfer case, otherwise known as the BT. This element, which is only found on vehicles with 4-wheel drive, is in fact linked to the BV. However, their functions are completely different. While the BV transfers the engine power to the wheels, the BT is responsible for distributing the engine power between the front and rear axles. It is therefore strongly recommended that you have your mechanical parts checked by a professional to remove any potential doubt. It may be that the symptoms identified are indicative of a problem with the X6 40d transfer case rather than a malfunctioning transmission.
As a matter of good practice, have the X6 e71 (or other generation) transfer case checked when you service your vehicle. In the event of a fault, both components could be repaired at the same time to allow you to use your vehicle in optimum conditions.
A problem with the BMW X6 transfer case can manifest itself in the same way as a functional problem with the gearbox: cracking when changing gears, oil leaks from the BMW X6 transfer case, activation of an inappropriate gear... As a result, the repairs to be considered can be similar in nature. The BMW X6 transfer case oil change will help to overcome problems linked to clogging. A BMW X6 e71 or later generation transfer case oil change will prevent lubrication problems. It's a good idea to find out the price of a BMW X6 transfer case before you replace it.
