    ' 03 X5 stuck in S Mode

    Hello All, my E53 X5 was smoking badly and wasn't moving right. Had the engine replaced and on my way back from the garage, the battery light comes on and the car goes off. Now, it wont even crank and I noticed that the transmission is stuck in the S mode. Doesn't shift to P, R, N or D even though it shifts in the manual mode, I don't expect it to start since its not on P or N. any ideas??.

    I have the same problem with my 01 x5 3.0 stuck in s mode and the gear shifter moves through all modes but don't see it on the dash indicator changing.
    May need reflash or gear indicator switch replaced. Tried disconnecting battery for 10 min. and no go.
    Any update on your situation?
