First Call out to BMW Assist
Went to tescos this morning and thought great as it snowed last night so i could try out my x3 in the snow!
Just loaded up shopping and my car wouldent go into reverse or drive! And a warning was up saying something like " Possible Lever problem" so called bmw assist and they were there in 25 mins which was great . After just over a hour of testing they diconnected battery for 10 mins and re-connected it and now it fixed the fault! Has anyone else had this? |

I seem to recall that the BMW 'brain' has some sort of Microsoft OS base - in which case its to be expected- when it stops working, reboot!

Also went for a cheeky drive in the snow early this morning and had great fun! I did feel a little smug passing all those abandoned 1, 3 & 5 series at the side of the road. Most were msport with big wheels. Not many audi or mercs abandoned?!? Tomorrows ice might be a different story.
Not used assist yet but sounds like you had a very goid experience

I went for a long drive today and deliberately included some untreated roads to try out the xDrive and the winter tyres. It pissed everything although it wasn't at all icy anywhere really, mostly slush and snow. Very pleased though!

That makes it even more laughable that some BlackBerry devices don't work

Ahh, a good ol' full system reset always solves it! We used to have a Jaguar X-Type before the 520d and current 330d and one day it kept showing the Engine Malfunction Light and going into Limp Mode. We rang Jaguar and they said "leave it alone for half an hour."
The problem never returned.
