    08 328xi problem

    (I’m currently experiencing this issue with my 08 328xi. Has anyone resolved this before and where do I start?) Please and thanks

    Tried searching for this problem, either no one has had this problem or i suck at the search function.

    Today I was driving, took off from a stop and then a couple seconds later i lost all connection to my drivetrain kind of like if the TQ failed. It just revved and I wasn't moving anymore. So i pulled over to the side of the road.

    I put the car into park and the car started rolling back ( i was on a hill ). I could faintly hear the parking pin clicking as it was rolling. So i pulled the e brake up and put in Reverse, again no connection to the wheels, but there was a grinding and whining noise coming from the transmission or something. Then i shifted into Neutral and it was silent, then i shifted into Drive and again the grinding and whining noise came back, I can rev it while in Drive and reverse and the car doesn't move. So i put it back in park (even though Park wouldn't work), pulled the e brake up and got it towed to my work.
