Please help me.

    I recently bought a 745LI and also have transmission codes. I have not experienced the safe mode yet. I am trying to get into my BMW specialized indy and tuner shop in the next few days to fix all my issues. What are the code numbers you are seeing? I will ask them for you, and about recommended actions. If you desire that.
