Hi, my car is Auto. But now when i shift to drive it's a manual like 3rd gear. So everytime i shift to D i have to press the A (Auto Button). i don't know if the switch broke or not. What do you think?

Did you start the car with the reset tool in the diagnostic port?

Unhook your battery, let it sit for a long time, like overnight. Then try it. It sounds like an issue with the tranny computer. For the right price, I'll remove mine and sell it.

Check also the shifter cable adjustment in the tranny, i dont know how to do that, but mine was adjusted a friend that work on BMW dealer...check for correct fluid levels

i unhook the battery over night but it still doing that. Oh and one more thing, The light at the switch A/M is off too. I dont think the swicth broke cuz i can still press it and it change to Auto. But I don't want to do that all the time.

It's burn a lot of gas if i forgot to switch it back to Auto. SAD !!
