1 Automatic Transmission Floor Shift problem of the 2007 BMW 335

Failure Date: 09/01/2018

Normal use of ds sport mode involved moving the automatic transmission shifter to the left. This puts tension on the wires that support this function, crimping the wires and frequently leading to failure. The problem appears to be with the way the wiring harness is routed within the transmission lever. This is documented as a frequent occurrence in numerous diy videos on youtube and internet forums. Failure of ds sport mode means that car can no longer be used in this mode. However, it can be driven in normal mode. This does not appear to be a safety issue. It is a design flaw that, through normal use, results in a failure that may require an expensive repair. My local shop quoted me $1,500 to replace the shifter.
