From the E60 forums.. worth a try I did it once...

You put your key in/hit start ONCE so the electronics of the car come on but it is not started.

Then hold down the gas, past the downshift point to the floor for 25-30 seconds straight.

If you listen, at about 25s exactly you will hear some "noise" and that is the tranny "resetting" itself to factory specs

Wow! Never though it would be so easy. I will give it a try later when I
leave the parking lot from my office.

Thanks, James.

I tried this on the wknd but I did not hear a click. Perhaps only for the E60??

Yeah, I tried yesterday and did not hear anything. Maybe my ears have some problem?

I am not sure if the tranny has been reset or not.

But, still thank you for sharing.
