And most importantly the Parking. Safe parking.
1) Switch to N
2) Use handbrake
3) Release the brake
4) Switch to P
Now the entire car weight is on the Handbrake and NOT on the transmission!
This is even more important if you park on the hills!!
safer too tbh.
Is it fine to do it in this way ?
1) Push brake until 4 step
2) Switch to P
3) Use handbrake
4) Release brake
Thank you.
Totally agreed. A mechanic told me this same process and I have done it like this ever since.
Thank you, just bought a bmw a few days ago I just parked it by putting it straight into park I’m gonna do it your way from now on
Yes!
Ok great. Never slam it into park or reverse while driving forward. Got it
lol its common sense only an idiotic being would do that...some one without much brains!! obvious istn it?
Believe it or not... there are people that didn't even know this one 🙄
Can I replace my gearbox fluid with sand?
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 i was kinda expecting smtn else as well. But thx for putting in the time for the vid
I've just recently bought myself a e60 530i with automatic transmission and your videos help me alot ! Thanks so much for every wonderful tips that you give out there
Hell yea brotha which engine you got? My 530 has the m54
I done all of these things for years with a ZF box in the range rover. 200k miles. Never an issue. Gearbox never missed a bit. And that box took a battering. On and off road.
yes I've put it into sport mode many times, cause I have a habit of holding it while I drive, idk why😅
most cars from the 90's onwards have a ratcheting mechanism in the transmission to protect it if you do put it in reverse/park while moving.
Putting a moving car in park or reverse while it's moving obviously isn't good for it, but it's not going to instantly destroy it.
Instantly yep you dont get nothing, but over time problems will occur, always change when complete stop. simple as that
Always heard that on the ZF five speed auto in my E46 that you should never idle in park for an extended amount of time. If you have to have the car parked, and idling, then put the car in neutral, with the parking brake engaged. Supposedly the transmission does not circulate coolant when the car is in park? What is your opinion Dean?
Anytime the engine is running the ATF is circulating, regardless of gear setting. It definitely circulates when in park. You idle it in neutral or park for extended time period to keep from stressing the torque converter for no reason.
Always in Sport mode while I drive😎
I find the auto N54 cars, for example-unbearable to drive unless their in sport & manual mode, it’s always more rewarding and easier on the car if we just select the gears ourselves but wisely
I really wish my e90 was a manual
Regarding point #2 - don't put the car in drive and the hand brake on and leaving it there in gear and not actually moving. What's the difference between that and being at a red light with the car in drive and foot on the brake? I understand the concept but 99% of people are going to have the car in drive and foot on the brake at a red light
Lol, none really but at a traffic light you are expecting to move soon so leaving it in gear serves a purpose. If you are parked waiting for some other reason and you won't need to move at any moment it makes more sense to put it in neutral while you are waiting. It's a judgement call ...
Would be surprised how many people don’t know those simple rules!!! I’ll tell you what I just learned by watching this video I didn’t know one click over ment drive sport mode!!! I just always thought that was for manual shifting only! Awesome I gotta try that
S mode is good for managing speed on downhills as well, keeps you a gear lower for longer.
I've always wondered whether it is damaging to the auto box if you keep the car in drive at traffic lights for 30 seconds - 2 minutes while still on the foot brake?
If I'm correct, when you're holding brake pedal it's working at the same time as the clutch.
Keeping the gearstick in D with foot on brake at traffic lights does not cause any damage to the gearbox whatsoever. No idea what this guy is talking about. I have driven several BMW's with ZF gearboxes, with the recent one being the 6 speed in my E90 335i. None of them had any gearbox issues because you were stopped at a traffic light in D mode 🤦♂️
In neutral at a light the convertor doesn't heat up as much but it's designed to work properly either way
Ive actually been told the opposite about point #2. Keep it in drive with e brake engaged. Switching from park or neutral to drive put more wear from engaging and disengaging the gears.
Torque convertor is spinning whenever your engine is running, but you are adding some heat to the oil if you have the handbrake on.
So the same as holding it on the brake while in traffic?
@@j-bolo6637 yeah, no difference between handbrake and normal brake on stop.
lol well my e46 328i 1998 vehicle from Saudi is a bit more special, it has 3 modes so i dont need to worry about the stick forgotten in the Sport mode as you mention here, as it switches automatically between manual sport (same feature as on paddles on wheel on cars like r8 c63 ferrari) and automatic sport. so unless in sport mode i move stick up or down it stays in the automatic sport mode and if move it up or down it goes in manual sport. common sense. same i never had issues when switching back to drive mode my car when switched to drive it stays in drive comfort regular mode it doesnt show up the ds. it shows up when in auto mode. so unless i move the stick up or down in sport mode the car changes gears automatically - that's my point
I've always followed these rules. Hence seen ppl rest the car on "P" mode before applying handbrake which I believe is very bad idea and can damage the gearbox.
To put less stress on the torque converter at traffic lights I put mine into N then back to drive when needed
Is is harmful to go from d to ds whilst car is moving or is it better to engage to ds when stationary?
So when i’m at the stop light what should i do...? Leave it in D, put it in N or in P?
What if You are driving on the road and You put it from D to N to revv it and then put it back to D while still rolling? Will it damage the gearbox or will it just simply put it back to the gear it was in?
never put it back to D while moving. Stop it, then you can put it back in D.
@@tizzy5717 not true, it will match gears
@@niilochiddick493 It happen to me as well, nothing happen, it went back to the same gear. 👍
If I am correct you should change the gearbox oil and filter again. ZF is recomending every 80000 -120000 km (50000 - 75000 miles) to change oil. One more thing is to say do not coast in Neutral - big nono
When I was taught to repair auto transmissions at a main dealer training facility the instructor took great delight in scaring the c r a p out of a car full of technicians by slamming the gear selector into reverse at 70mph! Nothing happens because most auto transmissions won't engage reverse or park until the car is below 15mph! Tried it myself afterwards many times while dealing with transmissions in a main dealer.
Do we impact the gearbox disk life when we stay at the stop on D + foot brake? Thanks
😏
Can I go from D to DS while the car is moving or do I need to do it only when wheels are not moving? Thank you
Wait to shifting to M3 in the gears gives it the M3 power the ECU'S been hideing? I joking lol love your videos
Hi Dean. I bought my 2010 E87 120d Auto M Sport 1 year ago. It has 128,000 miles. There's no record of any gearbox service or fluid change. Do you think it needs any thanks? I only do 4,000 miles per year.
But if it is in D and I'm driving, can I lift the handbrake for a drift?
You missed the a lot of info about how the drive sport works
Hello! How do I know if I have a GM of ZF Auto gearbox, I have a 2009 328xi, USDM and all that blah blah, how can I tell and what are the differences?
Very helpful straight the point video, well done mate :) also Dean, my E90 330Xi N52B30 has the ZF GA6HP19Z same gearbox as your 530i & my next question is about changing from D drive to DS drive sport when on the fly? Will it ruin the gearbox? I don’t do it all the time, only when I feel like driving in DS mode. I mostly drive in D drive
No it wont
DS mode is automatic right?
I saw guy putting it into p or r driving 50kmph and nothing happend car was just slowing down and nothing happend to gearbox.
What about going reverse and without letting the car fully stop, slam it into D and take off? I do that a lot lol it makes the tires spin
Very informative!
This is e60 or e90?
Must say ive had a lot of older autos not had a one that can go from neutral to park without pushing a button
Sir, this is quite confusing what you want to try to tell. Can you please let me know what this video for Automatic transmission is? Can you park the car first before taking it to Drive or reverse mode?
Hello mate, my car went into failsafe mode. But never had any issues witht he trans. Anyway i can reset it? I tried unplugging the battery, and holding the accelerator pedal down to reset it and still car is stuck in failsafe mode
Any help will. great thanks. I have a e60 530i 2006
Peggy Mitchell must be very proud of your Channel xx
I get that all the time !! 😂 no offence taken I get told all the time I look like Phil Mitchell from that soap since I started only the Uk people know that 😉
@@BMWDoctor Haha, I must have had a few when I wrote that... couldn’t resist, no offence intended, loving the channel so keep up the good work ✌️
Canny believe this has to be explained tae some folks!
Have any info on 2007 bmw 328xi problem
When you stop to a red light is it better to put it on P or to let it in D with the foot on the brake?
Following
Not the 2005 you have to pot the hand break so it will go in pack
That’s how I destroyed the transmission in my e46 ... I drove it like a Manual .. lesson well learned.. I now drive an e90 ..
Right on
Strange, i've had a few auto bimmers i always drove in manual mode. Never had a trans issue ever. E36 328i auto, e39 530i auto, and an e60 530i auto.
what about rolling slowly and you put it into D from N ?
Good day mate, just a quick question. As I wanted to know, can shift the gear knob to sport mode(+-) when the car is running condition. Your advice please. And also, I normally starts the car by press the start/stop button twice. 1st press ( all lights in dash ons and wait till goes off and then I press the brake and press start/stop button again to start.. same thing goes when I turn of the engine. Am I doing the right way mate. Your opinion please.. thanks.
Can you rev the car in neutral then put it straight into drive
Yes. I did it in a Range Rover and smashed the clutch to pieces
If you did not know this in the 1st place i dont think you should be drivin 😂
I’m Always chilling in sport mode 😂
Mine does not switch to manual shift any ideas please any help thank you 😊
if we want to go through the uphill road, do we have to switch to manual mode or keep on D mode?
Can you mess up the gearbox in manual mode by red ligning frequently?
Excellent videos when do you drive in sports mode
Another great video. Thanks doctor dean.
I got a 330ci ZHP automatic I perfer a manuel but I couldn’t let it it go.
Thank you for this, It’s common sense but I bet people do make them mistakes.
oh yes mate they do indeed
As I've heard lately, Common sense ain't so common! 😝
True... Common sense should prevail in most situations/circumstances, but the one big problem with common sense.. is that it's not very common in the first place..
Where did u buy the transmisson filter?
D is for Day and N is for Night
wonderful video
Hi Doc, what could the problem be for the screen and knob not to work, it only works if the car was off for 2 days or more but once I switch it off the radio won't come on again. BMW E60 2004 530D

What happens if you use sport mode(manual shifting) mode too much?
Will it damage the engine?
depends how you drive it in sports mode
typically the engine will be damaged if you are hitting the rev limiter a lot, the tramission in automatics even in manual mode is never fully letting the driver control the car to the point where you could make a horrendously bad shift. it will stop you from making big mistakes but it can’t stop u from running the engine into oblivion
@@XanderMukbang Is the DS mode manual or automatic??
the DS mode is automatic
How often should you change the gear box oil
Would you change trans fluid and filter if unsure if it was ever done i have a 328i xdrive with 147000 and it tells my my fluid is deteriorated but im afraid to change have known people who changed and than needed trans
Does the ZF for f10 needs changing as BMW dealer says it’s life time?
One quick question I know my car has the ZF Transmission(07 335i) I been looking at some E90 328i but I heard they use a GM gearbox, do they have the same flaws. Thanks mate
I have a problem with my steptronic not going into sports/manual mode. When it's in P I have to wiggle it to the left a little to get it into D and from there I cant push it left to get it into S/M1. Could you suggest a fix or how I can diagnose the problem? BTW it's a 2001 330i Thanks!
How can even one change from Drive to Park or Neural while the car is moving? Wouldn't they have to press on the brakes first anyways?
That’s a good question , I thought you were not supposed to do that at all but a lot of people while moving do put it in N to rev the engine and then put it back in D 🤷🏻
Is it ok to drive it in manual mode all the time?
Hello mate just asking how do I change oil in the auto box
If you leave car in park on stop youll damage your gearbox i was doing it on my 530d zf
I’ve decided I want an E92 as my next car. When I first started driving I was manual through and through because I thought a manual would be a lot smoother and more fuel efficient but I’ve driven a few autos and realised how easy and smooth the driving experience was so I’m considering an auto E92 because I can still change gears Manually if I want to. Just wanna know how smooth the gearbox is? It’s not slow and clunky like older autos? Plus not totally clued up on how the manual/sport mode works, can you engage/disengage manual mode whilst you’re driving or do you have to be stationary?
yeah along as you're in drive your can just knock it over and be in sport/manual and vice versa
I’ve always used neutral at lights to take the tension off the box.
Mine has an annoying problem though. It’s slipping for the first 1-2 miles from cold. Seems temperature related as I’ve noticed it’s worse at 4am leaving work.
Mine had the same. Did an oil change and it is very smooth again
Same mine does that for a while then it starts being normal
What mode is better for drifting drive/sport/manual mode?
You get a manual if you want to drift
I have a bmw 123d auto first automatic iv owed
But just out of curiosity when I am parked and i select Drive from park sometimes I feel it engage drive kind of a little jump nothing major or no clunks is this normal? Drives perfectly fine as fine as am aware just not use too an automatic…
Why doesn’t the manual mode show M1? Only M2,M3,M4,M5, and M6
Hello, thank you so much for your videos. I was wondering if you could help me. I recently changed the solenoids, sealing sleeves, and the bridge seal, now the only thing that works is the reverse. I have INPA software and the 4f81 code is coming up. I hear a rattling sound form the transmission sometimes it will catch for a second to go forward, and it will sometimes pull forward in manual mode 2nd and 6th just a little, enough to kinda pull back into the garage but it even stopped doing that.
The other day i was trying to move my car down the drive with the door open, it went from drive to park by itself and really jerked to a stop with a "Roll away protection" message on the dash. Should I have setup as if i was going to drive away? I just wanted to roll a couple of metres :( EDIT: I needed to see the edge of the drive - that's why I had the door open.
Sorry i am in indonesia using a bmw 318 m43 2001 e46 the problem in my car from position P moved to R hard, what need to be fixed ...thanks 🙏🙏
Does I affect the gear if it's left in drive with foot on brakes for longer time while stuck in traffic instead of shifting to neutral?
Yes doesn't do the torque converter any good if your sat at traffic lights etc knock in to neutral don't sit in drive
Anyone know how to fix this problem:
My 3- series wouldn't read my upshifts about a year ago, 6 months ago it didn't want to read my my downshifts and upshifts, and now it doesn't want to read when I put the car in DS (sport mode)
Any advice is welcome

Does using manual mode on daily basis will wear your transmission more than D mode?
My E39 sometimes got Gear warning when I'm using manual mode. Only use it so it can change the gear on minimal RPM.
The warning light then turns off later which I don't understand why. I don't feel any strange feeling on the trans while the warning is on tho.
While you are driving is it possible to shift to Neutral (accidentally) if someone push the shifter?
Yes it is possible
I have done it it started making weird noise I put it on drive as soon as I notice didn’t do anything my accelerator stopped working tho till I put it back
Off topic the gearbox in the video, you see the neon light that is on and moves to whatever gear you select. We'll my gear selector light stopped working do you have any idea what fuse this would be on??
that’s actually a problem in the wiring inside the gearbox assembly. are ur sport and manual mode still working ?if not just look up no ds mode on e90 and they will show u what wires are cut due to a common problem in the e90 wiring placement.
whats about turning the engine off while being in D or R ?
You can't remove the key/remote. Nothing happen to the engine. At the end You still have to put in parking mode to remove the key/remote.
Dude I was arguing with a guy that apparently fixes automatic gearbox and was telling him that old cars when u stop doesn’t take the clutch away it just keeps rolling destroying clutch and brake system and he still didn’t understood what I was saying
Does that mean that I should put it in park mode at every red lights?
Nice explanation....👍🙏 THANKS
Just by the name i new this would be a banger of a video. The value of this information is mad bro.
What I need to know is going Down the Ngauranga Gorge in Wellington City New Zealand, that's a Steep State Highway/Motorway 80km speed zone that I've Put my D into N and Coast down to save on Gas, I then put it back into D wait 10 sec then drive normally.
so is this Bad for normal or Cvt Auto Gearboxes ?
Thought R was for racing
Ya know I got a great idea you should live in use I don't mean the big ST meanin Ny Tx Clai Nv south
When my car E38 728I . if its is in D auto, it never tells me on the dash what gear im in . But if its in sport i can see its in 1 2 3 4 or 5 .can i not bring this up on the dash when its in D i like numbers .1 2 3 4 5 .
Can I go from D-Drive to DS-sport mode while driving ? Or should I come to a complete stop and then switch modes ?
Yeah you can go, just switch it to Sport, you dont need to stop to put it in Sport, but dont play with transmission so much putting in sport and then going to normal and then sport playing with it if you know what im saying, it can damage by time transmission and it will cost a hell to repair it or better change it to a new transmission because repairing it doesnt show good results
So I should be using neutral at the red lights? I don’t think so...
i would say have it at D, maybe when your stopped before a train track and the train is long, then you might be able to put it in N but otherwise D
Well, I have launch control on my M140i xdrive. Left foot on the brake as far you can go and right foot full on gas, that's way more stress for the ZF transmission than standing idle in D at a traffic light, lol.
What about parking the car on an incline without using the e-brake?
That's great for the transmission repair guy.
i need this song someone please,also great vid
u mean if i was going with automatic gear box on D and while im driving i wanted some extra speed i cant move it to DS ??
No that was just to make the point to pay attention to if you're in D or DS (Drive Sport).
Whats the name of the intro song? Its epic
M47 engine 07 2.0 diesel can you tell me where outside air temperature gauge is please.
I have a e91 320d touring and in first and second when you put on the accelerator it vibrates like mad from the armrest area it sounds just like something is loose am assuming it's going to be the metal tubes the handbreak cables go into have dropped onto a piece of metal would I be correct or is there something else it could be please help as this is getting very annoying now
Is it manual or auto? My old BMW killed it's DMF and it felt a bit like that.
Terrific tips, as usual. Thanks bro 👍
On the 06 BMW 330i e90 does the CD drive and navigation drive have an Aux in the back of the units?
Bullshit in BMW u can put fast form D to the R because you have differential which disconnects the shaft and the gearbox ;) Only in cars with front-wheel drive u can't do that :) What u can't do in ZF is fast switch from D to the P when you still rolls a little bit ;)
