BMW E60 2006 changing the non-lci gearbox to a lci gearbox ( i need help )
 

Hello,
I have a BMW e60 from 2006 525d and i try to change my non-lci gearbox to a lci one and i cant find out how to do it right.
At this moment i have changed the gearbox and the car computes recognise it but i cant change the gears, i can put it in P , R , D but in drive the gearbox gets stuck in 3rd gear ( safety gear ).

I need some help to solve this, i am waiting replays from people who have any ideea about how to convert the gearbox, thank you!

have you solve the problem?
i have the same issue,but i can drive the car as gearbox is not stuck in 3'rd gear,it's goying in S and M mode,as i can select M1 M2 M3,etc
the only problem is that i get a message in iDrive that Pos R,N,D may not be available and got these 3 error codes stored
on CAS: A0B6 Selector-lever interlock
on EGS: 4F9D Engine idling speed
CF33 No message, receiver EGS, transmitter DME-DDE

​​​​​​​so i think it's only programming or coding job

HiDid you solve this problem yet?
How can you solve it if yes?
​​​​​​​Thanks

Anybody solve this probelm?
Whats the problem?
How can you solve it?

It's a tall task. You have to make sure you match non sport to non sport transmission. If so then it's just the LCI gear module and some wiring.

Just get the right replacement from a salvage yard.

Yes but i saw in facebook one guy done this job with SAT tranny. Oem DDE, Cas2 etc.
He write me back but didnt want to help me.
Only told me "you need to encoding"

I'm sure he didn't help because it was a pain and he doesn't remember everything he had to do. It very labor intensive and to me not worth the squeeze.

finally i have succesfuly done the conversion,the gearbox is fully operational,not blocked in 3rd gear,it's all about correct wiring and correct software on gearbox ecu

Software info, etc..? I want to to the same on my 535d. Current 6hp26 transmission is blocking me to gain more power.. :) my transmission is currently stuck in 3rd gear. When I put it in D it goes back to P but briefly shows D3 on my cluster.
