Sometimes when i start my car and engage in D mode, it starts in M1 and will not shift. Sometimes it starts in M2 and it starts shifting sporadically until it engages back to D mode (This keeps happening 2-3 times a week). Now, another issue i noticed with this, when we got the severe heat in VA, it kept starting in M1 mode not in D mode. I would have to turn off the car on and off 2-3 times before it engaged back in D mode. There's gotta be something wrong with wiring? The shifter itself? Software update? Im gonna take it into a BMW expert shop i found this week to see what he says about it. Did anyone find a fix to this specific problem yet?
The previous conversation related to the 7 speed Getrag DCT box..yours is the ZF8HP auto box..completely different..

How many miles?

Checked to fluid level?
