Thank you so much for your explanation that happened to me My car was stuck in P in the middle of the road and I was desperate because it was late an no way to find a mechanic hopefully I watched your video then I was able to move it to N and push on the side 🙏🙏🙏 You saved lives. Thank you.
Excellent explanation. Have a weird situation. Bmw 135is (2013). Battery dead after shipping car abroad. External power turns engine running. Get the transmission stuck into P. Will this allow me to get into drive or just Neutral?
2011 X3 - this procedure works up to step 3 (I get the acoustic signal and a warning about the car rolling) but I’ve done the remaining steps exactly as in the video and it never goes to N.
I’ll need to do a few more tests to make sure, but I eventually got my car into neutral and I think the critical bit of missing information is that the driver’s door must be open.
Did a transmission replacement and then put the original metronidazole unit back in it but stuck in neutral now won't go into no other gear and I got a charge red light saying no charge can that make it do that to transmission??
HELLo please help me..I have a 2008 328i BMW 4 door sedan automatic..the car will not shift..i can only manually overide it..where is the tranni fuse on this car? mine car did not come with ANY fuse diagram papers in glove..PLEASE help..i cant find any diagrams..my fuse panel below glove has only one fuse in spot #4 to start off....
Hi friends... I have a critical problem. My 335i with DCT are dead. My DCT cant start, the gearbox does not start at all, I cant do any gear and P position are off, what can I do? Please help.
Push the lever and put a 17mm nut in to keep it open,.stays in neutral for pushing/winching etc.I wouldn’t recommend towing like this though as the nut will likely fall out.
I agree though,bmw must think their cars don’t breakdown or something lol. How easy is it to put a simple manual over ride release. After all, 99% of bm’s that breakdown or are involved in bumps end up stuck in park for some stupid reason. Ever had one stuck in water?…bloody nightmare when the release is underneath the car!…so much for technology eh.
My car stays I neutral and won't go into park. Its a bmw x3 2011. If I press the park button after being in drive, it goes back into neutral. Any way to fix this?
@@kaeylnsklub6894 damn...this might sound crazy to you but I read I'm a BMW forum that 7 out of 10 it's because there is a coin lodged in the shifter box under the shifter boot. Well lo and behold I removed it and there is a penny lodged in there but I can't get it out. It's not like the penny is obstructing anything but maybe just the metal interfering with the electronics from the shifter??? Maybe...could be
Can someone help me my bmw 535i when I put it on echo mode and accelerate up to 10mph it goes back up to comfort and I can’t put it on echo until I slow down
Doesn’t work for 2016 xdrive 340. And there’s no screw. Just a lever you have to magically get to hold down somehow while simultaneously pushing the car. So stupid.
A me non succede niente. Possiedo bmw F30. Il video è anche sbagliato: premere contemporaneamente freno e pulsante avviamento il motore si accende e il contagiri schizza a 800 giri e non nella posizione "ready".
mine 2011 x3 is stuck in P. It wont move at all in R D or N. The car starts up fine and runs strangly I can even rev it but it wont move. Going to try the method of going under the car and unlocking it manually to get it towed hopefully. Any ideas are welcome..
@@nucleus8706 screwed the bolt in under the car. Popped it in neutral. Transmission is junk. Sold the car for parts. Not buying a German car again. 78k miles….
Terrible design... what if you cannot allow the engine to crank over or it'll cause further damage? This is a bad design, slow, complicated & requires a key fob & battery power.... often none are available. BMWs & MB suck
I have to agree. BMW could have thought this one out better. Having to rescue a stalled BMW, in the dark of night, in the middle of winter, 30 below zero, wind blowing the snow, laying under the car that a tow truck was holding high enough to allow under car access was no picnic.

Hi, and how to do if starter doesn't turn on please?
No good if the engine is seized and won't turn over.
Thanks for saving me the time... That's why I need to put it in nuetral...

Will this work for a 2013 x1?
Did this work for your 2013 X1 ???
Nice but how tf do i reengage the lock when it wont go on again by itself?

Does the engine have to be running or will ignition only work?
If the engine is still running, the car shouldn't be stuck in PARK.
Wrong I have one running and it's stuck in park
@@GioMillz yeah my 535i xdrive was the same, had to be towed on a flatbed
Have the same problem…how did you solve it?

Hello
This is not working in my 530 2012 F10 BMW
I have a 2011 550i. I had to do this step to get mine into neutral when my car was dead.

cheers mate life saver

the same thing happen on my mini i cannot crank it all we do is put a dolly roller on the other side of the front wheel
If the car stop in wrong place and wrong time, you are dead.
Thanks to BMW. I am ASE master tech
and in my opinion I prefer old systems.
I have to agree. BMW could have thought this one out better. Having to rescue a stalled BMW, in the dark of night, in the middle of winter, 30 below zero, wind blowing the snow, laying under the car that a tow truck was holding high enough to allow under car access was no picnic.
Mine stopped in the middle of the highway yesterday
@@johansamaniego6732 Stopped while you were driving, or stopped when you came to a stop?
@@rollydoucet8909 it stopped working while I was driving in the highway
@@johansamaniego6732 Once the car came to a complete stop, was the transmission in PARK?
Damn this saved me thanks
Im stuck in a creek right now.!!. What a ridiculous design.
Lifesaver
Should I buy a car for $5000 with this problem?
What a dumb system BMW has made.
I agree
It’s not BMW his fault. It’s a ZF gearbox. BMW found a solution for the problem.
@@babuz4409 bmw managed to make their solution even more convoluted. Turd. Awful for the consumer.
@@babuz4409 what would that be?
Start motor runs 0.5 sec...by my situation
Thanks to you bro, I could do x3
not working..
Also the car started doing that
Stupid as F design :D Puuh, currently doing a manual swap for my BMW. No need to suffer for this ever 👌🏻
To all mechanical engineers please stop learning something yu dont know on the expense of somebody's car, If you don't know just admit coz yu brake our cars
Not true
Garbage design.
This is a fix for 15mins...what a crap?
what abt a manual gearbox
Um, push clutch and shift to Neutral?
