BMW E70's gear selector strange noise and error 00A82E 

I have the same noise for a year, it would come and go, hot weather made it worse. I think I have a fix, its been working perfectly for a week now after the work I did, cost nothing, now let's get down to what I did 1. you have to remove the trim and remove the shifter, check u-tube as how to do this, it is very easy and takes less than 10 mins to remove. only tools needed are star sockets and a putty knife or something thin to pry (pop) the trim. 2. disconnect the 3 connectors to the 3 units, one of them you will need a small screwdriver or a ball point pen to push the little tab on the connector to unplug it, the other one you have to press both sides of the connect to release it and the 3rd one should just pull out. 3. the 1st part of the fix is to remove each connector and plug it back in 5 times to clean the male and female part of the connector this makes the connection work better as over time the parts become corroded. 4 the main cause... once you remove the shifter items out of the way. you will notice tape on the wires some of the tape used is rubber Electrical Tape. but the main problem is the heavy cloth tape which become very stiff over time ( my 2012 X5 twin turbo ) remove all the tape both electrical tape and the cloth tape as far down as you can. you will see the cloth tape is wrapped around all the wires before it splits, to each connector. after its all removed use electric tape and tape the 3 bunches of wires and down to where they come together. Lighty tape them so they are flexible you don't need a lot of tape on the wires. if it's to stiff it causes pressure on the connectors, causing them to lose connection off and on, this along with corroded connectors over time, this is my take on the problem. after I completed this fix, it feels more firm and the noise has completely disappeared, keep you fingers crossed.

My motor is broken. If I can't find the replacement motor I'm just going to remove it or disable it where it's always in sport option. (means I have to manually move back when parking)

Is it a selector motor that works with eletric ?. Whats the part actually called.so we know for future prefrences

Do you have to program the shifter after installing a used one?

So you changed selector for the sound to go away? Or how this thingy is called ? 😅

I have same sound sometimes

Thanks!

I had the exact same issue with just one click sound after I put to P. I have the same error code in Carly. Its been going on from over a year. Should I just ignore it or replace the gear selector eventually?

Can you take a look at my video I uploaded, I’m having similar issues with my shifter making weird noise (clicking). My transmission is good too I know because it shifts perfectly before my shifter got stuck in “P”

Why not used from local yard?

That problem costs 10e
