BMW Differential Leaks: How Timely Maintenance Saves You Thousands

Bucharest, Romania – A recent video from AXM Service BMW, a dedicated service center in Bucharest, highlights a critical issue for BMW owners: differential maintenance. The video emphasizes that neglecting the differential's health, particularly oil leaks from the seal, can lead to severe and costly damage.According to the service center, the differential seal plays a crucial role in maintaining oil levels and preventing contaminants from entering the system. When this seal fails, oil leaks out, leading to insufficient lubrication. This lack of lubrication causes internal components, such as bearings and pinions, to grind against each other, producing a distinctive metallic sound and generating metal filings.The specialists at AXM Service BMW warn that ignoring these signs can result in a significant financial burden. A new differential can cost up to 5,000 euros, while reconditioning an existing one offers a more affordable alternative. However, the video stresses that the most cost-effective solution is preventative maintenance. A comprehensive differential service, which includes changing the oil and replacing seals if necessary, can prevent these severe issues. This operation, including labor, oil, and seals, typically costs between 1,600 and 2,000 Romanian Lei.BMW owners are encouraged to address any signs of oil leakage promptly to avoid extensive repairs. AXM Service BMW, located at Strada Preciziei 15b in Bucharest, invites owners to contact them via WhatsApp at 0747 886 906 for consultations and service appointments, providing their chassis series for accurate assessment.
