MKL and uneven shifting in 2009 BMW 5 Series gasoline engine

Check engine light on

Transmission slips/shifts erratically

Hello everyone! I have recently started having a problem with my 2009 BMW 5 Series petrol engine. The MKL is on and the gearbox shifts unevenly. Could it be the gear selector? Have any of you already had symptoms like this and been able to solve the problem in the workshop? I would appreciate any tips and experiences to help narrow down the problem. Thank you very much!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2007 BMW 3 series diesel. I'm not a car expert, but I do have a bit of experience. On my car, the cable connection on the gear selector was damaged. The garage found this out when I brought the car in for diagnosis. The repair cost me 365 euros. But now everything is running smoothly again. Can you perhaps tell us a bit more about your car? How many kilometers has it already done and what repairs have been carried out? Then I might be able to help you even better.

Thanks for the quick reply. My BMW has now covered 148782 km, so it's been through a lot. But I haven't had any major problems so far, apart from the usual repair stuff. At the last service they changed the spark plugs and fitted a new air filter. All in all, it's always run pretty reliably. I'll have them look at the cable connection on the gear selector. Thanks for the tip!

No problem, always happy to help! With the mileage, there could actually be a bigger problem, but it could still be the selector lever. I haven't had any major repairs on mine before. It was actually always reliable. In any case, have it checked at the garage. It's difficult to judge for yourself and a fault in the gearbox is nothing to take lightly. I hope it's nothing serious and you'll soon be back on the road again!
