Question
I have a 2004 SMG 2004 M3. the problem i have is that my car will start but won't go into gear. the Reverse and all the shifts will just blink. I am in desperate need of an answer. any help will be greatly appreciated..
Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? Turn ignition "on" position without starting,depress brake pedal,move selector back and forth from 0 to R.Wait until hydraulic pump stop,check oil level. Fill with pentosin CHF 11S(get it from the dealer).The reservoir is towards the fir wall,check the manual for exact location.
