    Shifting

    I've recently purchased a 98 740il and it will not shift in automatic but shifts just fine in manual. Any idea what I can do to solve this problem?

    Perform a diagnostic scan with a BMW specific scantool/software,
    that can communicate with the EGS transmission module,
    so diagnostic error codes can be revealed-no guessing involved.

    And there's your solution... Transmission needs to know the throttle position to shift properly.

    See how easily a diagnostic scan helps to steer you in the right direction,
    and prevents unnecessary guessing? This is for all of our forum viewer's out there,
    who resist having a scan performed, or will not purchase a scan tool for diagnostics.
