Gear maybe engaged without breaking
Good morning Dave. Thanks for your prompt reply. I forgot to mention that indeed my mechanic has replaced the old transmission fluid pan with a new one that has the filter incorporated but never changed the fluid. Is that could be the problem??. I took my car to another transmission specialist and he made a thorough diagnosis and the result is NO codes of transmission errors. -

Morning Mobeen Even with BMW's early i-bus system components that communicate with each other or allowed pass through signals to reach others could be swapped. However they didn't always operate as they should or allow their full operation. They needed not programming but registering to the cars chassis to allow full functionality. I would start by checking all body earth points, BMW love multiple earth points and earth switching so make sure they are good being parked up could have allowed corrosion to start, it wont take much. Use www.realoem.com to check if any enabling codes are needed for the audio/nav system. The steering angle sensor normally calibrates itself if the car is driven forward while going lock to lock What diagnostic system are you using Dave -

Gear maybe engaged without breaking
Morning Taysir Welcome to the Forum As your "mechanic" had drained the transmission and removed the sump and filter to change solenoids he then put back using old contaminated Fluid and possibly/probably a used contaminated filter ????? it just doesn't make sense. Find another transmission specialist (preferably ZF) and get the trans diagnosed and the fluid flushed and changed Good Luck Dave -

E66 76Li - help needed with errors
Thanks for your reply David Donor vehicle was exact same spec as my car. comfort heated seats, logic 7, night vision, rear entertainment, fridge, rear air con vents on roof lining, rear window blinds, soft close. There has been no coding done, only the parts have been swapped including a replacement steering angle sensor. Do we have a programming expert on here? Also, audio was working fine when complete logic 7 system was moved from donor car to mine and it worked in my car after swap as well. Car was parked up for winter/rainy months. Started it up 2 weeks ago, installed a brand new Bosch AGM battery which is the correct battery for the car. However, audio system doesn't work anymore. I can't press any icons on the screen using the idrive button. -

Gear maybe engaged without breaking
Dear members, Has anyone experienced the following. I have BMW 650I 2007. I live in Santiago Chile. 2 weeks ago my mechanic replaced solenoid 4 and 5 on my automatic transmission using the 2 year old transmission fluid to drain and refill. 2 days after I started to experience the following. After I drive my car for a while and I switch off the car for around 2-3 minutes when I try to turn it on again I receive this sign in the dashboard: "Gear maybe engaged without breaking". When this sign comes on the start/stop button goes dead and the gear shifter gets stuck in park. After about 20-30 minutes the car gets back to normal. I complained this issue to the mechanic and he told that the Mechatronic control unit needs to be replaced because it's dying. Does anyone experienced this problem?. It's driving me crazy because before the mechanic changed the 2 solenoid I didn't have this problem at all. Please help. Many thanks.
