Probably a wire broke in the steptronic shifter assembly. That would cause this problem. Unfortunately quite an expensive fix if you are out of warranty.

This has happened to a bunch of people - mine went out when the car was pretty much new - it was a microswitch in the assembly.

Dealer replaced this in my car 25167563655 but it is a $500 part - not sure if you could take it apart and fix/replace the microswitch itself, but I would try before spending the money on the whole part.

I took it apart, you can see that there are six small iron piece, they are like antennae, but not in a plane, I do not know how to do.

I had this happen to me on my previous E92 335i. When I was having my laser diffuser installed something got disconnected by the shifter handle. Took it back to the installer took him 5 mintues to fix the issue. So more than likely its a wire/plug etc that not connected or crossing
