Anyone help 2016 X5 not selecting gears can actuate the lever and can see it selecting but nothing on the leaver so no drive at all? This has had another gearbox change been to bmw had the gearbox coded to the car. And tried both the selector units from both cars?

    3 or 4 years ago travelling at around 40mph suddenly no drive, no noises bangs or bumps parked and called the AA who using snapon came up with the same fault. Their diagnosis gearbox?

    Got recovered and like you selector showed all gears Drive Reverse Manual and Sport modes turned out to be rear diff failure. Sadly not that rare with the 3.91 diffs, if the diff is sound I would contact a ZF specialist who can read the internal box codes from the mechtronic unit.
