Hi guys, I'm having issues with the selector switch that's attached to my gear box, I'm getting the amber cog warning and the code is pointing to the switch, It hasn't totally failed just intermittent but can be a pain but once in gear it's fine.
I'm looking for the part number , as you know realoem only shows the 330ci and the part on that is 24107507818, just looking for confirmation of the part number so I can buy it and possibly a supplier in the U.K. .

Had exactly the same issue with my B3s Cab - Amber Cog plus limp mode which would be re-set by turning the ignition off and cycling the gear selector Park through drive and back.

The part is standard BMW so RealOEM plus your original Serial No should be correct - I don't have the number for mine but know it was supplied next day from Elms in Cambridge

If it helps, the part is about Â£205 + VAT and it took Bensten's about an hour to change when the car went in for a service.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Thanks glad it's not some obscure P/N, ignition on off sorts it out, I was planning on tackling it myself looks like plug and play, just need to get under it
