Hi. Got a problem with my gears, Today, i had to stop and reverse quickly, so away i go when i suddenly felt a big "clunk", since then, when in "D" as soon as i pull away in first it slips out..if i stop and move it to "S" same thing. I can however move it to "+/-" (tiptronic) and pull away in first, change to second 3r d etc.. . What has also happened is it came up with "Trans Failsafe Prog", and seemed to restrict the gears to 3,4 and 5 gears only.

Can someone tell me whats going on?

Regards

Rich

Hi, if you mean does the gear selector knob feel loose, then No, still feels the same.

      Car Play

      Hello. Just about to collect a 2015 E93. Trying to figure the best route for Apple Car Play. It seems there are loads of options. Could anyone help with some basic advice for a complete novice to this question please? Thanks Dan

      Bmw f13 640d 12 litres of water found in boot help!

      Morning Kashem Welcome to the Forum Matts post is a few years old and he never did follow up to let us know if he fixed it or sold the car The iDrive is built into the CiC Infotainment system in the front of the car the iDrive controller is also at the front. What is in the boot is the active sound controller and may be the Amp. A diagnostic scan using a BMW capable scanner should help identify where the issue is. First thing is get rid of the water and try to find where its coming in and fix that. Then check the fuses front and rear also check the loom carefully beneath the fuse board in the rear BMW use a cable jointing system that compress's copper wires together they are then covered with a clear plastic sleeve (see the attached picture) in the picture the thin green wires and Orange green trace are for the Can Bus system the black colour is corrosion 3 of 5 wires just fell out when I moved them I cut off the splice and remade the joint with solder and a shrinkwrap cover. I have found this now on 5 different BMW's that friends and family have brought to me with Can bus problems everything from radio not working nav stopped access system issues lights not working If you have had water in there I guess the loom has been submerged so worth a check in my X5 they were bundled in the main loom right beneath the fuse board and rear light (which leaked) I remade all the 5 splices you see in the picture Hope it helps Dave
