Hi all, I have a 2001 540i and last week, I had a dash message that said "transmission failsafe program". I could not start the car for a while then when I jiggled the transmission stick, the car started and I have not had the message back since. Did anyone else on this forum know what this is. I called Mississauga BMW service dept twice and they still have not got back to me.
