    Check parking brake is ON warning

    Billy Boy posted a topic in BMW 2 Series Forum
    Hi, on my 2016 2 series active tourer 220i Iget a message come up on screen when I switch on or off my ignition. I of course checked that the parking brake is definitely on and working satisfactory. I know what the problem is as occurs on other bmw models as well as bmw mini's. It is almost certainty a small broken spring in the gear selector unit that is located inside the car and is used to select Park/Drive/Reverse etc. Bmw know all about this spring and there is an article on how to replace it on Utube. However bmw will not replace the spring but will replace the whole selector unit. Does anyone know the cost of having this unit replaced by bmw. I spoke to bmw and they will not give me an answer. They tell me that they will have to plug in reader to check what the problem is and that test is £160. I have a Bmw assured warranty and I don't know if this unit is covered for replacement under this warranty. Any info on this matter would be appreciated. Regards Billy Boy
