How to Put Your BMW In Neutral Position When Engine Won't Start
VeePeak and BimmerLink couldn't quite diagnose this issue quite like the good ole "butt dyno!"
You can still grab one of these and use code "OBDCHECK" at checkout to save 10%!

My BMW F10 535i shutoff in the middle of Chicago traffic and would not go into neutral. This is some information I found on the BMW Electronic Emergency Parking Release, by BMW Group.
After watching, please comment below what BMW you own and if these steps helped your non-starting vehicle get into neutral position electronically. Thanks!

Thanks bro it definitely worked on my sister‘s five series. this winter, her vehicle just suddenly stopped turning over the starter works but something is up with the transmission and we need to put it in emergency neutral to park it and your steps work like a charm
It’s never fun when it doesn’t want to start. I’m happy it helped 🙏🏽🙂
Thanks man, I'm recovery driver just learning you helped me
That’s awesome and I’m glad I could help! Be safe out there and thank you for your hard work 🫡🙏🏽
Just helped a lady that was stuck in the middle of the parking lot using this method. Thank you , it worked perfectly. ❤
That's awesome to hear that you were able to get her safely out of traffic 👏🏽💯
Omg thank you so much! I was able to push it out to a safe area because of this video! God bless you!👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Oh wow, I'm glad you were successful and now safe! Blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽
AB= Absolutely Bangin videos. Salute to U Bro. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yessir 😃 Thanks for always supporting Big Bro 💪🏽👊🏽💯
I can say that this worked for me. I hit the brake, started the car. I pressed the unlock button and shifted to neutral for four seconds. Then I heard the gear shift and I pushed the car where it needed to be. It was a 2011 740i. I appreciate your video dude.
Thanks for sharing your feedback 👊🏽💯
Nothing special. This is how it works. You shifter to neutral and it goes to neutral. What's special ?
Worked on my 2015 650i grand coupe. Great information thank you!
That’s great news…anytime! 👏🏽👍🏽
Thank you for this video bruh. Getting my F30 towed tomorrow and was tryna figure this out. Thank you..
Anytime Bro, I’m happy it helped 👊🏽💯
Why every one doesn’t know this method! If i saw your video 2 days earlier it will save me money and time… most of guys told me the mechanical way but no one knew it electronically.
You’re absolutely right…not commonly known!
Thanks A Bunch for posting this SERIOUSLY YESTERDAY THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULDNT EVEN TOW MY CAR BECAUSE HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT IN NEUTRAL EVEN AFTER WATCHING UR VIDEO HOWEVER I DID IT 5 mins after he left SMH so AGAIN THANK U FOR POSTING THIS
I know the feeling 🤯 I watched mine being dragged about 25 yards and didn’t want to suffer that nightmare again 🤦🏽♂️ I’m glad to know it helped you and thanks again for watching 🙏🏽💯
This 100% worked!!! You literally saved me some money
Great to hear! And yes a money and time saver 👍🏽
thanks bro. really appreciate your videos
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much!!!!! Save the day. 2016 x3 and it worked !!!
Awesome and happy to help!
Thanks for this info
Anytime 👍🏽
I owe a few beers homie! My 740 has been taking up a driveway spot for a year, since i got my new whip. Not to mention the transmission is blow. Just did this and pushed it all the way up the long driveway! This is the ONLY thing that worked.
Out of breathe at that lol
I believe it 😅
I’m happy it worked for you! Congrats on the new car too 👏🏽💯
This shit actually works 2014 bmw 528i
That’s great that it did!
😊Thanks, it works on F07
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏽🙂
Famou$gang🔥🔥🔥
This worked on a 2013 X5 that cranked but wouldn't start. Had the transmission cover off just in case I had to use the manual option. Thanks!
Great to hear and thanks for sharing!
You can tow this unit with a wheel lift as well,as long as you have dollies 100% towable
Hi can you please tell the radio fuse for 320d 2011 61 reg thanks.
I had this problem w 07 530i, dead, hazards came on nothing else. 40 min of searching found best info. Popped the case off the shifter underneath at top right there is a release which allowed me to shift without any power. May not be for all and electric shifter May very but easy to do very difficult to find info. I figured I’d share
Thanks for sharing! Yes this can be found in some automatics and DCTs. However, BMW didn’t do it this way for all models and years.
I was in line at cosco to get gas but just as i got to the front of the line i ran out of gas thanks for your in put on getting it into n so it rolls. I could not figer it out until i got a gas can, put in some gas then it started right off. It's a bmw Z4
Oh I bet that wasn’t the best feeling! Glad you got some gas in it and was able to figure out the steps 👍🏽
It works!!!
Aaayeee 🙌🏽😃
I have a 2008 BMW 550i and follow your instructions to the tee several times and it does. It work. When pushing the start button the car does not start. The lights flash on the dashboard and they toggle on/off with each push of the start button. I cannot get it into neutral. So lame. Now I’m stuck. This will just magically start some other day.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re understanding that models do vary with this process, .ie F20 3 series. Have you confirmed that your starter engages? That’s what’s highlighted as the key component that must work.
Yes it works
Awesome and thanks for the feedback 🙏🏽💯
But does this work if the vehicle won’t start?? 2012 BMW x5 will not start and will not go into neutral at all
The technique is designed to work in no-start situations, but you must have power and BMW states the starter must engage/work. Try this one I just found recently 👉🏽kzhead.info/sun/ZpuAetOra2t3l4U/bejne.htmlsi=ARuhind1CC-yC88F at 2 min 13 sec mark (time code here will not connect to his video).
hi. I have a bmw f30 328i. I'm getting error codes. P0012, p0015, P0172 any idea what parts needs to be changed?
I don’t own an F30, but generic codes like these from off the shelf readers will have you “repair hunting” on any chassis. Depending on your confidence level, my suggestion is use ISTA+, Bimmerlink (one-time fee app) with a Bluetooth module - I use VeePeak *amzn.to/3h0JWNH - bootmod3, or iCarly (subscription-based app) to name a few. These codes pinpoints specific modules, banks, parts, etc. Otherwise, do more research on the generic “P” codes and take a look through F30 forums to see what they’ve done.
@@EuroAutoEnthusiast thanks for your reply. I used bimmerlink and got the following codes. 130308, 120408, 133B04, 133E10, 130108
2018 M5 this only works while car is running. brake and hold the gear shifter in neutral for 5 seconds and release open door and push or let the car roll. did not work when engine not running
For the F90 and also F10 M5’s it wouldn’t, you have to go underneath the car and flick it into neutral manually if the car doesn’t start
This will not work if the engine doesn’t start , simply pressing the start button putting the car in accessory mode does absolutely nothing, it will only work if the engine starts.
There’s a lot of satisfied owners in the comments who says otherwise 🤷🏽♂️
my engine wont start and it worked for me
@@utzu4976 Happy to hear it! 👏🏽
Wish i knew this 3 weeks ago so i didnt have to drag my f30 onto the flatbed
I know that didn’t few good to watch 😒
Will this method work for a 2019 X7?
Because I don’t own an X7 to test the theory, I can’t confirm this. Checking X7 specific forums and internet searches is where I’d start. Feel free to share your findings here to help other X7 owners!
This might be the new test to see if ya starter is not working
This is a possibility…
Glad I own a e28 with a manual tranny 🙂
👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾💥
🙂🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
I have a 2013 f30 m3 series and it your technique didn't work maybe because my emergency brake is a normal one or perhaps i was doing it wrong....
Assuming by normal you’re saying manual hand brake-I’m not sure if that matters. Someone with an F30 mentioned that they were successful with the steps.
Wait...its time limited? Can you activate it again?
Yes, yes 👍🏽
I have an F10 550i, does not crank, this didn't work for me
The technical bulletin highlights that the starter motor “turns”, more specifically is installed in the car, has power, engages, and turns when you press the start button. Is this the case for you?
Could you write down what you did? Your vocal directions are confusing
Me funcionó en un f 22
Gracias 🙏🏽
I’m stuck with my x3 2015
Were you able to figure out your issue?
Here’s the link to the page on forum Bimmerfest www.bimmerfest.com/threads/how-the-heck-do-i-put-it-into-neutral-without-starting-the-engine.1113273/#lg=thread-1113273&slide=0 Read for more information on this subject and let us know you BMW model and if this was successful for you. Thanks and I hope this helps 🙏🏽
Hi I recently bought a 2012 bmw 750I and it won’t go in to park at all. It says “Park position "P" not selected. Vehicle may roll. It is not possible to lock vehicle from outside.” Any ideas how I can put it in park? Ever other gear works. I can turn it on go in drive and reverse just fine I just have to leave it in Neutral and the park break and just be fine but I would like to be able to put it in park and not have to worry about it
Its like you gotta study moves on a PS5 controller to do the simpliest basic shit on these beemers .. fckin reeediculous..
From my Navy days working on F/A-18s, exact sequences are imperative because people can be seriously injured or worse due to mistakenly touching/hitting switches. You know…for bombs. In other words, it’s probably a bit more involved for safety reasons and safety almost always creates a level of inconvenience . Even if that’s not the case, I respect the thought process of it.
Didn’t work in mines
What year and model is it?
No that will not work if your f10 is completely dead
