OK quick update, I found a bmw dedicated obd2 cheap as chips local to me, so fo £10 I can have a play until my icarsoft Pro arrives, step one was to clear all codes and to my surprise the trans fail disappeared from the dash, I also removed the red tyre pressure warning light with this tool, quite impressed so far, so I started it up and all gears are working, even the manual side of the box is working, the only light on the dash now is 4x4 Amber warning lights, can't seem to get that one to stay off, so I know I have a problem, but at least the gear box changes now and the tyre pressure warning light has gone

The car has 145k on it, there is no proof of any transmission oil changes and, strangely I have just today, ordered a icarsoft Pro that covers bmw, this should be here in a couple of days, will update when codes have been checked, thanks for your reply

Hello everyone, looking for some help if possible, I have a recently acquired x5 e53 with a 4x4 fault, it also has the red tyre pressure warning light next to it, the car starts first time and has full power, there is no engine management light on but it is stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, I have checked and replaced the transfer actuator nylon cog, it was undamaged, I made sure it worked when it was off the car and it works fine, is there anything else I should try , hope someone can point me in the right direction

looking for driver side and middle front bumper trim in blue water metallic and also rear bumper trim drivers side also blue water metallic [uk]

just to say hello again to everyone, just swapped my jeep for another bmw, got the bug again, so I'm back, nice to see everyone again
