Heya guys,
How's everybody doing?

A few days ago I noticed an unpleasant problem when my E39 refused to engage while in Reverse. I can switch to R but nothing happens.
Shifting back to P or shifting between gears does not help. So I need to restart the car to get R to work.

It does not happen all the time but it makes me worry...

I hope it's not something serious. The switch may have failed, as suggested by ross1 in:
TRANS FAIL with P0734 (https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2478889-TRANS-FAIL-with-P0734)

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
