The BMW Roadside Assistance is the same guys that does the AAA auto club towing where I am. They tow hundreds of different cars a day, they dont specialize in BMW. My guess is that they have no idea about how to put a BMW electronic shifter into neutral if there is no power.
I like new technology as much as the next guy, but this electronic shifter offer no advantage over the old technology. I know of a few owner who have file complaints about this problem to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Maybe if enough of us file complaints, BMW might do something about it.
