I originally thought that I had cooked the electronics so I replace it with the one from the used transmission that I got and get the same error. Since I keep hearing that it has to be coded, I had someone virginize it and code it (took almost two hours) remotely. Start the car and get exactly the same error. The only I didn't replace are the solenoids. Tested resistance and they are all within specs.
I have put about 5 quarts of oil but since it won't go into gear I can finish the filling procedure.
Anyone out there had this happened to them? I just ordered a set of ZF solenoids to replace then anyway but I even took the transmission to a person that builds ZF for modified engines and he said all of the mechanical work was ok. He didn't had a way to check the electronics.
Ideas? I'm getting tired of paying for a rental (two months so far!) since my older BMW is in the middle of an engine rebuild which hasn't been getting attention because of the E70 transmission. ]]> X5 (E70) Forum jimoreno https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/116643-anyone-repaired-zf8hp70x.html https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/116634-i-gave-my-13-year-old-bmw-x5-e70-2025-interior.html Wed, 15 Jul 2026 19:28:11 GMT Like and Subscribe Can you make a 2013 BMW X5 E70 feel like a brand-new luxury SUV?

Can you make a 2013 BMW X5 E70 feel like a brand-new luxury SUV? In this video, I completely transform the interior of my BMW X5 E70 with some of the best upgrades you can buy.

From a fully digital instrument cluster and wireless Apple CarPlay to a custom steering wheel, carbon fiber trim, sport pedals, upgraded iDrive controller, and a new start/stop button, every modification makes this 13-year-old BMW feel like a much newer vehicle.

If you own an E70 X5, E71 X6, or you're looking for inspiration for your next BMW project, this video will show you exactly what's possible.
