Gear Shifter - Am I in Park?
New to BMW, and more specifically, new to cars with electronic shifters like the one in my 2016 228i. I'm becoming increasingly worried that one day I'll go to park and it won't actually be in park and I won't notice until I roll into a curb or another car. One tiny green light does nothing to get your attention when there's always a green light on the shifter.
I don't know how BimmerCode works or if they can create codes to alter vehicle functions, but a chime to confirm the shifter is actually in Park would be a genius idea for idiots like me. Thoughts? 2 cents? Anyone ever rolled into something thinking they were in Park? I've searched the forums but can't find anything on this, but these shifters have been around for quite a while, so I know I can't be the only one whose had this thought. |

If you open your door while in gear it will throw a bunch of warnings on both the cluster and CID with chimes. I’ve never had any issue related to this, never heard of anyone who had issues...
