Then again, I have the switch with a yellow plastic body, and as shogun mentioned elsewhere, different color plastic means different switches for various E32 variants (mine being an Oct. I have tried removing it once and I could not get the lock pawl to slide off past the switch. Sorry this is a mouthful and not sure if all looks the same, i did not take a video as was not sure this would work, in all took less than 5 minutes to remove and no cutting or breaking of anythingIf I am following you correctly by "lock" you mean the aluminum pawl that pivots up and down on the pin and does the actually locking.Ībout four posts up I posted a pic with numbers, and in that pic the locking pawl runs vertically between #2 and #3.

Perhaps I can go back in there and glue in a very thin shim on its left side that will force to to make better contact with the switch body contacts. It also seems like the little swiper that is attached to the gear lever has more left to right travel than it should due to wear. At least now I get P-R-N-D, but then it skips to 2-BLANK-2 for the rest of the positions. I was able to pull the cover off the switch and do some cleaning, which helped a bit. And any effort to cut it at #2 seems out of the question. I'm afraid that if I grind/cut off the head of the pin that it sill won't out to the right with the switch in the way. But I still don't see how the interlock pawl (just to the left of and parallel to the switch #3) got installed with the pin if the pin was inserted from the right and then swedged at #1, because the switch would be in the way. The issue is that the pivot pin for the interlock was apparently swedged in place (at #1 in my marked up photo) after the rest of the whole unit was assembled.
#Bsw shift select how to#
I am still trying to figure out how to get this thing apart for repairing the switch and then putting it back together without losing the interlock function. Any suggestions?įunny, that photo shows exactly where I was at yesterday trying to work on it. It looks like it was designed to inhibit removal, which would be fine if it weren't in the way of the Gear Selector Switch. There is literally no hex, allen, slotted or philips head on the end of it. The pictures of the Gear Shift Sector Switch are all from a car without the interlock mechanism.) The problem is there is no apparent way to remove the Interlock anchor bolt.
#Bsw shift select manual#
(Interestingly, the Bentley manual does not address this. The anchor bolt for the interlock cable is directly above one of the two screws that hold the Gear Selector Switch in place. Problem two, I can't remove the Gear Selector Switch because of the Interlock mechanism is in the way. The switch is not listed in either the gearshift, AT, electrical or any other logical parts list.
Problem one, I could not find a part number for the switch on realoem.
Unless someone has a different idea, I think the problem resides in the Gear Selector Switch. While the display doesn't bother me, I want cruise control functional for an upcoming road trip.
Cruise control works in "S 4" and the display shows all the other positions such as "E P" "E R" "E N" "E 4" etc. I have been having a problem with cruise control disengaging and the "E D" light not appearing in the transmission portion of the display (it will go on, but won't stay on).
