I kinda forced the shifter out of parking.
It works ever since but when going from R to P it doesnt feel 100% smooth. Unlike when I. goind from D to P. It goes easy.
I will probably contact a friend who works at BMW and ask him to ask one of his mechanics.
Alternatively I could get the selector out again and see whats wrong. But not sure if I can remove the surrounding trims with the shifter in. |
Didn't you try to remove the gear knob while it's in P? It's challenging but doable. The first time I wrapped the center console with carbon fiber vinyl, I did that. I needed to remove the top plastic cover of the console to wrap it, and at that time, I didn't know how to operate the emergency yellow button to release the gear knob into N.
