hi there!
anyone that can help of what this may be. I know i could be a number of things, if anyone has had this problem before and how they have fixed it?
car: '95 M50 525iSE 24v Auto
the problem: driving along normally, came to traffic lights and the 'E' & 'D' that lights on the dash didn't show. i pulled over and turned off ignition and back on, it showed 'TRANS ERROR - consult log book' or words to that effect. So then it limped in 3rd or 4th gear (i dont know but thats what it seemed like) until i got it home. After 5 minutes of being switched off i tried it again, and it allowed me to select the gears and sports and winter modes, i have since driven it about 60 miles and it's ok, apart from being slow at selecting gears (this was a problem i noticed about two weeks before this so i knew something was up) anyway yeah it's not done it again since earlier today, but obviously something is up.
So yeah, if you've had this problem what did you or your garage do to fix it? new auto ecu? thats what i was thinking.
Any BMW technicians here, this would be a great help to me! I'm a student and need your help! :-(
thanking you in advance!
