The shifter on the console will hang up get stuck often when I put it in reverse then from reverse to drive it won't shift all the way to drive it keeps stopping in neutral now while it's in neutral I can pull back on the shifter and hold it it will catch drive partially but U have to keep pulling back on the shifter and hold it but it doesn't go all the way in drive it's just on the front edge and if U let go of the shifter it drops back into neutral it's a safety hazard cause U cant go forward to get out of the way of other motorists especially in an emergency it takes a few minutes of pushing the shifter forward into park and then pulling the shifter back to drive after a couple minutes of doing this it will eventually go into drive and it seems to be getting worse at times and sometimes it won't even shift out of park without having to wiggle the shifter back and forth and then pulling the shifter back with twice the force that U would normally use to shift it out of park this has happened multiple times backing out of my driveway and directly onto a main road I live on and its happened in parking lots when trying to leave a restaurant or gas station etc.

My BMW caught on fire while turned off and parked in my garage. The fire spread to another car as well as our house. The fire started about 45 minutes after it was parked.
