New x1 xdrive automatic, trouble with gear-stick
After 900 km from new, gearstick seems faulty.
This is the new steptronic stick, press left side-button to place it in R or D. P-button on top. Gear stick can only be moved with a pressed brake-pedal. The problem: Brake pedal pressed, stick placed i R position for reverse. Foot removed from bake pedal to start reversing, BUT stick is automatically placed i P-position !!!! Cant reverse !!! Same can also occur in D-position, but not always. Car is now stuck in garage, cant reverse !!! Any hints ?? |

ok. thanks. But I am really scared of driving this thing. Have expereinced the same
also in D position. Have also noticed a red warning sign on the display, (exclamation mark). According to manual it means "time for service". But first service is for 30.000 km ????? |

Well, there must be something wrong I guess.
Have you received a BMW assistence card? Perhaps give them a call and they may come to pich up your car, guess it still got warranty since you drove less than 30.000 kms with it. |

SOLVED !
Driver door was not completly shut. Security program says no driving allowed with open doors ! But I wanted to reverse and look back with open doors ! So I must first start reversing with door shut, THEN open the door to lokk back. Dont like this system, but dealer says this cannot be altered. |

That's right, as a safety feature (or you may call it troublesome feature ). The newer BMW won't allow you to shift into gear when the door is opened.
