And if the car can't be turned over, then it's this procedure:

Transmission Emergency Release
There is a new operating concept used for releasing the transmission parking lock mechanism (transmission parking lock emergency release). The existing transmission emergency release is being gradually removed from all vehicles with the 8 speed automatic transmissions, beginning with the E70 LCI.
In the event of a fault affecting the powertrain, the transmission parking lock can be unlocked mechanically and put in “Neutral” by means of a set screw/stop (adjusting screw) that acts on the gear selector lever. In addition to the mechanical transmission parking lock emergency release, the procedure to put the vehicle in “Neutral” can also be done electronically via ISTA.
Transmission Emergency Release GA8HP Note: Refer to the repair instructions for the proper procedure on releasing the parking lock on the GA8HP automatic transmission.

(From the diagram that was shown, the adjusting screw is UNDER THE VEHICLE). Lovely, huh?
