Okay that sounds like a great plan Big "J"...I will follow your advice...I guess I next need to find an indy around my area...so far I have had no luck on that search...not a lot of Bimmers in this area...we are southeast of Pittsburgh where there are two to three dealerships, but locally I have not been able to find a good indy...I have a friend who has a Mercedes and they take their car to a guy they swear by...I will give him a call...

Youry, I will take your advice as well and disable the DSC and see if the problem returns...

Today's events go as follows...I started the car first try and then put the car into reverse...the Transmission Failsafe Mode Light came on and shortly after so did the Check Engine Light...I have noticed if I put the car into or out of gear a little harder than perhaps I should I get the error code IF I take my time and VERY gentle...no error code...It is almost like it has an overly sensitive trigger...I know that is NOT the problem, but that is how it seems... Kind of wierd!!!

ANy memebers Southeast of Pittsburgh know a good mechanic or is there a list somewhere of indy's memebers on this forum use...I would be happy to patronize the friends or mechanics of other members!!! Tha nks so much!
