Auto shifter problem.
1 Attachment(s)
I've encountered a problem where my shifter 'lags'. When I want to put it in drive from Parking, it takes about 4 seconds, sometimes it even doesn't puts it in Drive. I've been to a mechanic, he says the problem is that the car doesn't recognize the shifter, like it's not even there. He said he will call someone up and gather some info about, he hasn't called yet, but I wanted to ask for your advice. Maybe some of you have encountered with problem like me? I have bmw e61 2007.08. model.
I have shifter like this (taken from different post on this website): Attachment 165339 |
That's the sports shifter.. so if your car did not come with it, it's very likely whomever coded it.. didn't do it at all, or didn't do it right.

If you could, take a picture of what you have specifically.

Well, that shifter you posted is an LCI model + the sport button, which E61's didn't come with from the factory ( well, I'm unsure if they did over in Europe )

Your build date should be LCI so the shifter should not have any compatibility issues. Regardless of coding, the shifter is plug n play. Coding/flashing is necessary only to get the sport button working and enable paddle shifters. I installed mine and used it long before flashing and coding.
Does your Sport button work? Do you have paddles in the car? Have you checked wiring within the console to confirm a good connection? Has your mechanic recorded CANBUS communication when he attempts to actuate the shifter? |
