Vehicle started random shift selections after rain occurs. Display often showed incorrect gear selection and incorrect gear position on automatic transmission. Gear position indicator on transmission has degraded sealant allowing water into wiring and switch causing electrical malfunction and incorrect indications from transmission and engine speed control. Has progressed now to complete degradation of all transmission function and indication regardless of weather conditions.

: the contact stated while driving at no particular speed, the gear shift indicator down shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection only. Updated 4/11/2006 -

On several occasions while driving during wet conditions, the automatic transmission would suddenly shift from "drive" to "S" without any operator intervention. When this occurred the car abruptly slowed to about 25 mph and would not accelerate beyond that speed. I wish to emphasize that this sudden and unexpected change in gear selection would take place without any operator intervention which resulted in a potentially dangerous situation. I had the vehicle repaired at vista BMW in coconut creek, fl on 9/07/05 and was told there was a short in the gear selector switch and the defective part was replaced at a cost of $583.25.
