Hi there
Can anyone shed any light on this please? I have intermittent starting issues as per the attached video. I have just had a new battery (registered) and the garage thought it was was engine speed sensor so also had that replaced. No joy.
Sometimes it will start, sometimes it will start and then splutter and stop, and sometimes it will just crank and crank and crank until the transmission red cog lights up.
The other issue I have is that the transmission is generally always locked in park on a cold so I have to lift the safety release under the gear selector every morning, although it’s generally ok after a run for the rest of the day.
The garage is stumped and told me to take it to BMW, even though they are a German car specialist and Bosch service centre so should have decent kit etc. I am loathed to take it to the dealership as it’s so costly, so before I do I thought I’d see if anyone has had this issue!
*sorry just trying to figure out how to attach the video!
