    Manual Mode on E63

    I recently had all gaskets, seals, water pump, timing components, alternator etc., renewed on my 646Ci.

    I notice now that it will not select Manual/Tiptronic Mode unless the car is warmed up.
    Like, after at least 10 miles. This is when you push the stick to one side when in Drive.

    I can select Sports mode with the button on the Transmission Hump when cold.

    I don't recall not being able to select Manual Mode when cold prior to the refurbish.

    I had owned the car for some time prior to that, so I am sure I would have noticed this before.

    Any comments ?

    Should I be able select Manual Mode when cold ?

    Yes, from a cold start you should be able to select manual mode immediately. Most likely candidate would be the selector switch itself - but diagnostics will be able to check that in a few seconds.
