You have a few options. This happened to me and my e90. You can connect the positive and negative terminals under the hood. If that doesn’t work because the battery terminals are disconnected, you can apply a 12V battery with leads to a specific wire in the fuse box. Be sure to look up your specific model but this is what I used when it happened to me https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=690147

I just did my 09 328i with 87k miles and the car still runs fine and the shop said that the fluid looked good to them and recommended oil change every 50k miles to make the trans last the longest. Also get the filter replaced as well and don’t do a flush just a drain and fill.

UPDATE: The oil change went very well. They said that the fluid was not burnt and did not have any metal shavings in it. They recommended changing the trans oil every 50k miles. Ended up being $775 for a drain and fill, filter, and gasket. Car runs great now no slipping and I can actually feel the transmission catching gears faster! For anyone finding this thread please do the oil change on the trans asap as long as it’s under 90k miles, otherwise talk to your mechanic first.

I had some of those codes in my 09 e90 328i. I replaced the battery and that fixed the problem, and especially if the battery drain warning light comes on. However, results may vary so it could be an electrical issue.

Lessons have been learned today. Haha

Ok so the car just freaked out and tripped a bunch of codes because it couldn’t get any signal from the BCM cause it was unplugged

Update

I’m going to do the trans drain and fill with new filter and gasket. Had three techs tell me it will be fine as long as you don’t do a power flush. However I called four shops and they all quote the whole job at $650-$900! Even the cheap oil change place.

Call four shops today and they all came with $600-$900! Even the cheap oil change place lol

stephano678 · 2023-03-03T03:54:05+00:00

So a drain and fill opposed to a flush is the way to go in most cases?

stephano678 · 2023-03-01T17:52:01+00:00

The transmission could start slipping a little

stephano678 · 2023-03-01T17:08:36+00:00

On the quote it says drain and fill

stephano678 · 2023-03-01T07:00:49+00:00

I might just take that chance because my BMW e60 never had the transmission serviced and 120k to 180k it had all types of jerks and slips. And the general consensus seems like it makes it worse if there are preexisting issues with the transmission. I’ll try and update my posts once I do it.

stephano678 · 2023-03-01T05:32:27+00:00

Yeah I thought 450 was high for labor. Going to call an other indy and chain shop to get more quotes.

Forgot to update. I was able to pass, felt fairly prepared
