- In this episode you can see how I fix in the gear selector on a BMW 2 series f45 f46 a fairly common problem with the message "Secure vehicle with parking brake when stationary" if you already knew how to fix congratulations to you and if you didn't know again bravo now you've learned how to fix it.
if you have done the same thing and still have the error it's possible ( 99%) that you didn't mount correctly back the spring , still if you are sure that you mounted it correctly next step is to do a diagnose (that normally needed to be done by the beginning)
The white ''Stuff'' that I'm using is Grease "Molykote EM-60L"

This is the best youtube tutorial that I have ever seen.
This is a great video. I fixed my car this afternoon saving hundreds of pounds. You made a complicated job become simple with your clear explanations.
Great video and very well explained fix of this annoying problem in our F46 220d grand tourer (7.5 yrs / 174.000km).
We have the plug-in connecter for mobile phones in the arm rest, which comes with three more connectors to be carefully removed.
The repair took me about three hours, with a couple of interruptions to study the respective sequences of the video. It‘s fun 😅
There is no better way to make a repair video. 1000 Many thanks for this 🥰
Domnule Ovidiu. Esti un om deosebit si cu adevarat un doctor pt masini. Cand am vazut ce finut lucrezi si manevresi piesele wow deci asa ceva rar. In ziua de azi nu mai gasesti mecanici buni care sa se ocupe de lucruri mici si importante. Ne ai salvat de ka o cheltuiala deosebita. Iti multumesc mult
A true professional. I like they way you clean the car trims as you replace them. Shows a pride in your work that a lot of others could learn from.👍
Have the same problem at f45.
Fixed it by 4 hours. Thanks to you, man.
I finally fixed it today. The gear did not work during the first installation. I removed the gear again. I finally made it.. thank you very much for everything.
Nice work!
One of the best videos I have seen so far regarding the removal of BMW 2 grand tourer trim. Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for appreciation ! I have more interesting videos!
Excellent, thank you for your video, just made myself this modification as mine was also broke!
Amazing what a small spring can cause to your pockets!
Hello, I'm glad that you was able to doit, if you want to suport give this video a like, subscribe and share this, and don't forget to check out my channel I have many interesting videos!
You are better than many professors. Thank you whether I do this myself or not.
First of all, I have searched ages for someone showing me how to remove the arm rest. You really should add the bmw F45 in your title, because it’s the same car. Also you can make three other videos of this video, because you’re the only one showing how to remove the console and armrest out of this car.
I'm glad that it helped you !
thank you x 1000.Superb video.
I repaired my MINI F56 thanks to this video (actually my brother did haha). You saved me from spending 800€ on a new selector. God bless you! 😁
Nice work!
Excellent video! You've done a much better job at clearly illustrating what's involved in this repair (unlike some other poorly shot and edited videos out there.)
Thankyou for taking the time and effort to upload this video. It made quite difficult job very easy. Kudos my man 👍🏼
This video is excellent! Thank you for creating and sharing. I was quoted £1000 by BMW (with 'discounted labour rates') to fix the issue, and after watching this I spent about 3-4 hours very gently walking through it, and my car is now fixed (and cleaner since I spent some of that time hoovering it out in the process). The spring cost about 50p.
The only difficulty I had was making sure the electrical plugs (particularly the one that clips back to the top of the gearstick unit for the gearstick lights) were accessible to put back - that gearstick light plug had ended up hidden so had to back-step a little to untrap it and route it back up to the correct position.
Absolutely perfect! Clear, direct, problem solved! Thank you!!
Great to hear!
De fiecare data cand ma uit la video-ul asta ii ca si cum il vad pentru prima data. Nu na mai satur sa ma uit la el. Deci e prea bun. Succes iti urez
Thankyou for the easy to follow guide, just completed this repair on my 218d.
You help me a lot. I replaced my fauty ring on my f48 automatic by my self. It took me a time,but problem fixed and everything working fine. All the best and many thanx for yours videos. 👍
Super guide, saved ne hundreds, thank you Ovidiu. Took me kre time than 15 minutes but with patience and attention to details I've done it and it seems OK so far.
Ps: is wort to take some pictures with the cable alignment before unplug them all,my model is a little bit newer but the principle is the same.👍😁
Glad to hear that
Great video, very detailed, much appreciated, Got quoted $A2,700 by BMW in Victoria Australia and thought I would do it myself. Took around 6 hours as I wanted to go very slowly and its quite easy to break some the plastic tabs etc. Also wanted to document the wires and where they went so it would all work properly when done.
All sorted, thanks again. You're a legend.
Nice work!
@@MOvidiu wo bist du machst du so eine Reparatur?
Hello boos, it works perfectly without any problem.
You told me about the problem exactly even without you see and now perfect.
Many thanks bro.
Glad I could help
Sensational video - BMW Australia have quoted me $1,600 (EUR 1,000) for the gear lever assembly, then you'd need to add a labour cost! I'll try fixing it your way in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
thank you for such a great video. I have exactly the same problem in my car. I will attempt fixing it following your steps. can't thank you enough pal. keep up the good work
Bro, u do great work, keep it up! World needs U, thank you!
Hi many thanks of making this video, it helped me a lot of replacing the torsion spring. I had a phone tray in the arm rest that maked it a bit complicated to disconnect the wires because they rent trough the arm rest, but all went good. Good to make pictures of the wires and how they were connected. I have a 225XE Hybrid and couldn't disconnect the battery, but all went fine.
Great to hear!
Good work! Very simple repair. Always clean and perfectly))
Glad you like it!
Great!!! I had this problem last night, ordered the spring on amazon and this morning I did the job and everything is okkkkk!!!! Thank you
Hi, can you give me a link for the spring. Or a name? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for sharing your tips. I repaired my car thanks to this video.
Great to hear!
Thank you for making this video, it gave me the confidence to make this repair. Garages only want to replace the whole selector mechanism, which costs a lot of money in parts alone. I found replacement springs on ebay for a few pounds. Following the video was easy and I completed the job in half a day.👌
Donation made on PayPal, thanks again
Nice work!
@@MOvidiu Very well demonstrated, thank you very much. Could you please add a part number for this spring. Thanks in advance
I just did that 3 hours of work and done, thank you very much, u deserve some beeers
Excellent video. Really made a complicated job straightforward. Thank you
Awesome write up. My car just reported the same error. Have to decide if I’m going to have a go or find someone reasonable.
Thanks a lot for this! Mine broke around 140k kms. It took me net around 6 hours, doing everything slowly. Hardest part was getting the plastic pin out from gear selector. I must say it looks like a design failure. The spring wire under normal use is practically pushed against a plastic wedge, no wonder it breaks after a while. The spring broke exactly at the touch point where the edge is. In any case, great tutorial!
Such a rare A+ tutorial. Hats off to to you sir, this was really helpful.
Great tutorial, cleaning and greasing everything. I wish you were close to take my car for this and any other fix.
You can do it!
All that effort for one small spring 😱
“Not great, not terrible” - one of my favorite sayings since I watched the Chernobyl series 😏
Thanks for the video and take care!!
Very complicated process, but you are a genius
😇
Thank you! Cheers!
I have this problem with my x1 f48. Thanks for the video, now i can see if i have the same problem. 0$ with your video, 1000$ in garage
Thank you for making this vid. 95% of the reason I was able to complete this repair(on my Mini Cooper)is due to your efforts.
Hello ! thanks for your feedback Glad it helped
Do you have a 2016/7 Mini also? This just popped up to me so I don't want to do everything for it to turn out not being useful
My wife’s 2016 Mini Cooper clubman s had the same message. Dug in and removed shifter and had the same problem. Shifter was exactly the same. Not able to use same spring so need to order a new one or try and find one. Ordered on eBay but first one was too small….need to find a larger diameter hole…..hope I can put it all back together. Gavin Blaesner has a TH-cam channel where he shows how to replace the shifter…..does not show what you have with fixing the spring….the two vids together tells what you need to know for 2014-2019 Mini Cooper.
Very good brother.
Happy birthday !!!
excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for this walkthrough. Just did this today, and this video helped me very much. Saved me a lot of money. You are the best 💪
Great to hear!
Thank you very much for such detailed instructions!
Thanks for appreciation!
Thank you very much for your video. Your video helped me to save a lot of money! Greetings from Germany.
as always excellent and enjoyable work RR
Glad you enjoyed it
Great explanation was very detailed and I was able to follow and fix the problem thank you so much for putting the video up 👍
Thank you so much, this video helped me sort this problem out on my Mini.
Great to hear!
Thank you! Very good video, I believe I can change myself based on your guidance.
Thank You for this detailed Video and your Explonation. With your help I was able to fix this Problem on my BMW 220d X-Drive.
Great to hear!
Absolutely genius!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
I don't own a bmw. I still watched the whole thing 😂 Wonderful DIY 👏
Thanks for your appreciation and for the feedback!
Amazing work and video!! 🙌🙌
Esti minunat omule, multumiri!!!
Very helpful, my issue with the gear selector was exactly like you describe, what I don't understand is that BMW ask hundreds € to change the complete system just for a broken little spring ... Many thanks from France!
Hello ! you are right , it is a small spring ...but that part coms as a single component and that's why is so expensive .
Execellent problem solving…thanks 👌👌👌
Welcome 👍
I would really like to thank you. I have just made it on my F46. Tnx!
Bravo, domnule! Felicitări!
M-am uitat doar de curiozitate. Dar cinste ție pentru munca depusă.
Super tutoriel. Un grand merci. Panne résolu. 👍
thanks for the instructions, done in 3 hours.
you are an absolute legend thanks for the video!
Well done,Perfect,Bravo.......Very good tutorial.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video!!! Now i will fix my brothers car. Thank you friend a lot 😉
Happy to help , don't forget to share this video !
Well done mate. Really appreciate it
Thanks, I don't have this problem (yet), but I do need to remove the centre console.
Thank you very much for your detailed video. You saved me:)
BMW quoted over £1000, local BMW Specialist quoted £850, local garage did the job for 3 hours labour using this video. Thanks so much for doing this video.
I worry i have similar issue but my active tourer is not engaging parking brake and brake switch is just freely moving up and down.
Where did you take your car, I have the same problem in my 2 series gran tourer, thanks
@@alnasirdatoo7412 Just to a local garage, showed them this video and they agreed they could do it.
@@EasyTiger1969 thanks I think I will do the same.
Amazing video.
Just followed this video to fix my 2016 220d Gran Tourer. Had the same fault message on dash and got the spring from Alibaba or Wish (can't remember which) for £3.50ish. They actually sent two for the price.
Took me about 2.5 hours all in as wanted to be gentle and not break anything.
Only issues I had was gear knob wouldn't pull off so left it on and carried on and I couldn't find the pin needed to push out to disconnect the gear cable at first- if this happens to you change the position of the gear selector until it lines up with the hole.
Hi, i have same problem, may I know it is possible to give me the link to alibaba on the spring? Thanks heaps.
Hey, same problem here, I am also interested in the link. I would really appreciate it if you pm me the link. Thanks!
Hi, could you share the spring link please?

Domnule, sunteti un om priceput si se vede de departe ca stiti bine
pe ce, cand si cum sa puneti mana. Probabil ca nu m-as incumeta
simgur sa fac asta daca as avea aceasta problema (am un F45),
dar daca apare voi sti ca poate nu e bine sa merg la reprezentanta
sa ma "usuce" de bani. Felicitari! O spun nu doar pentru pricepere,
ci si pentru cum a fost facuta filmarea. Se vede treaba ca sunteti
un "perfectionist". Mi-ar placea sa va pot contacta daca as avea
probleme cu masina (inca nu sunt probleme, dar probabil vor veni!)
Ma bucur ca va place munca mea , Dar oficial nu se repara acest modul , o reparatie corespunzatoare si profesionala pentru problema din clip (si nu numai ) se face prin inlocuirea modulului, ne negociabil ! faptul ca se poate repara si am si aratat cum, asta in inseamba ca asta e o regula si acum va trebui si reprezentantele sa faca asa . Pentru viitoare posibile problem cu masina va trebui sa apleati la reprezentanta locala sau la un specialist din zona dvs !
@@MOvidiu sigur ca inteleg lucrurile astea! Voisem doar sa spun ca atunci cand (si daca) vor aparea probleme (cu acest modul, ori altele multe cate pot sa apara) ma voi documenta mult mai temeinic decat pana acum si, poate (de ce nu?), cu putin ajutor din partea cuiva mai indemanatic decat mine, as incerca sa rezolv singur. Daca nu iese, asta e! Tot la reparatia oficiala voi ajunge. Ideea e sa nu stric mai mult decat era, iar astfel de filme sunt de ajutor! Mersi pentru raspuns!
What a great DIY, thx dude!!!
Hello, glad you enjoyed
Well explained video. Great.
But how exactly do you have to bend the spring?
Or where do you get a new one?
thank’s for that man.. you helped me to save a lot of money 🎉
Thank you. I got it too. saved a lot of money
Great!
Thaks for the video y congratulations from México
Thanks for watching!
Super tuto, think you very much.
Excellent videos thank you ….. but if change the mechanism with the second generation is possible and the problem expire ?
Great tutorial, can i ask if i only need to change parking brake switch do i need to remove all the panels or can the switch be removed without removing all the panels thanks alot in advance
Thanks a lot for the video! Looks professional. Will try it this weekend. Do I need to disconnect the battery?
Hello, thanks, yes for you it is better to disconnect the battery!
Thank you very much. Very helpfull.
The best!
Thanks a lot for this awesome video and your detail explanation is excellent.
Further I am owning 2016 218i petrol active tourer and I have the same issues.
By looking into the manhour effort it might be an expensive repair, hence shall I continue to drive with this warning until my next major service approx at 10 months or do I need attend this issue immediately.
Please advise as I am not an expert in automobile.
Hello, you can drive it like this if the permanent warning message won't disturb you
Great video...ive just replaced my broken spring and fault has gone
The only problem I have is the illumination on top of the gear shift lever has stopped working?
What are the lubricants and connector sprays that you use in this and other videos about the gearbox?
You are thé Best 🎉
Bravo meștere! 👏👏👏
Merci pour la vidéo tu m'a beaucoup aidé (b)
very good video, with detailed explanation! My question is what is the white stuff you are using during assembly?
it is grease
Hi mate, amazing tutorial. Thank you very much for this👃
Would you be able to send model if that bosh electric screwdriver? Couldn't find it online
Cheers
Great explanation, everything worked well :-)
Great to hear! Thanks for your support and appreciation!
First of all great Video! i have the same error on my f10 m5…. could this be the same issue?
Super. I wil try too.
Gran bel video, complimenti! Considerando che si è spaccata una molla d'acciaio, come presumo anche nel mio caso, non pensi che questo problema sia un difetto di fabbricazione e quindi coperto da garanzia da BMW?
Great video, I hope I can make it.
The error deletes itself automatically?
Driving a 225 xe do I need to take precautions before I start taking everything out
Excellent. Thanks a lot 👍
You are welcome!
Buenos dias ,muy bien explicado.el clip o muelle de reparacion de donde lo sacas?Donde podria comprarlo.
Just finished repairing my 220i GranTourer. I replaced the broken spring by a new one. They can be ordered cheaply at ebay. But you should be aware that the new spring will break again if you don't modifiy the white part and the black housing. The real problem causing the spring leg to break is the fact that after about half of the whole travel, the spring leg collides with the edge of the white part, which will stop the spring to twist any further and only bends the leg as it moves further. You can easily feel this by moving the white part by hand: the spring force will greatly increase when this happens. I used my Dremel tool to remove part of the edge inside the white part and also removed most of the part of the black housing on which the spring leg rests. Now the spring is able to move the full travel without the leg being bent.
What's the name of the spring you ordered. What do I ask for ?
ANY PHOTO?
Thank you very much!!
Great video!
Did you disconnect the battery?
I have a F45 PHEV...
