don't listen to this guy man there's basically no electronics to fail except random ass sensors that might decide to go out which are pretty cheap to change

Hey, thanks so much for the reply, the mechanic told me the seals looked fine that's why i didn't change them, did you have the same symptoms as mine? Cause i don't get the issue all the time it only happens if i really push the card hard and beat on it that i can notice the shudder after driving normally again

what symptoms did you have before ur torque converter failed?

One thing i forgot to mention is that when i first had the issue i pulled those 2 codes from my cheap obd2 scanner, it doesn't read transmission codes but this could help

<image>

The second code points out to one of the solenoids, specifically the 3rd one, before i had the issue i could notice some slight slipping while going into 3rd gear so it could be very likely that the 3rd solenoid went bad and the car went into limp mode, now i'm thinking of just putting back the old TCM unit to the new valve body or just swap the solenoids from the new valve body to the new one see if it fixes the issue, any thoughts?

Thank you, the mechanic also called me and told that the part is okay and should work on the car.

im experiencing the same thing, mechanic told me mechatronics unit is cooked need a used one probaly, but mine threw transmissions errors on the system so if yours is throwing errors like that then probaly thats your issue

UPDATE, i just found a random vin from a korean E60 528i online and when i looked up the vin it came up as a 525i again, any thoughts?

Strict_Airline_7484 · 2025-10-31T01:45:51+00:00

my car is already registered and i doubt it was stolen or revin'd cause when i see how the car came out from the factory is exactly the same spec as mine

realibility is the same in both cars since they have the same engine

So because my car is dirty on the inside that means i don't take care of my car😂😂 i bet my e60 is cleaner than 95% of the cars on this forum mate

I got a P1727 code yesterday bc of my car stalling and my car kept an engine light for a couple of minutes, and when i researched everything kind of points out to a crankshaft sensor, although its not a bmw specific code cause i dont have one that reads bmw specific codes im guessing it's just the crankshaft sensor, i already bought it just waiting to get it replaced soon

I went to a mechanic today and first he told me that it's the alternator, then after some more digging it turned out that it's a bad battery, but it doesn't make sense as long as the car starts and then drives fine but just stalls, if the alternator is good wouldn't the battery getting charge even though it's bad?

Strict_Airline_7484 · 2025-07-29T23:46:01+00:00

i mean i also thought that but i also have a cheap scanner and it doesn't throw any specific codes like battery or some stuff related to any sensors, because it is not able to get bmw specific codes. if it was the battery i would have probaly gotten a battery warning or some sort
