2013 BMW 535i GT xDrive Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 BMW 535i GT xDrive addresses a car that reads as a sedan from the driver's seat and as a hatchback at the rear: four doors, a lifting tailgate, and drive to all four wheels from a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six with double overhead camshafts running on gasoline. Base was the only trim listed. Because the equipment does not branch, the specifications, torque values and diagnostic procedures can be read straight through without first deciding which version of the car is on the hoist.

Engines covered

• 3.0L inline-six — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2013 535i GT xDrive. The turbocharged inline-six carries most of the service load here, and the manual treats it in full: cam timing and chain drive, cylinder head and gasket work, the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors, the charge-air system, and the cooling circuit that keeps all of it within specification. Around that sit the automatic transmission and transfer case procedures, the suspension and brake specifications, and the wiring diagrams for the lighting, climate and driver information circuits, each with the diagnostic tests that identify a fault before parts come off.
