I do not have paddle shifters. I will take the center console apart this weekend to figure it out hopefully it's just the ribbon. By any chance do you have the schem of the shifter? I had to locate the how to get to those ribbons and it showed the e39. Still dont know how to remove the shift handle....

To remove the shift handle pull straight up with all your might! It sounds crazy but I have an 07 530i also and that's how I got mine off when I pulled my CCC to do my audio upgrade. It will come off as long as you don't have weak little string bean arms .

Does it need to be in Neutral or can it be in any gear?

After I went throught all of the trouble shooting in the previous posts (inspecting cables), I had the center console shifter replaced. I don't have paddle shifters so that could possibly be something else. My recommendation is to save yourself a headache and buy a used functioning shifter if you can. I saw 1 on Ebay for $125 and other BMW junk yards. Good Luck to you!
