Thanks for the response. I have a 2008 BMW 328xi E92, so it's out of warranty. I inspected the wires and there's no broken wire to be seen or under the plastic wiring assembly. What do you mean by a broken shifter?

You didn't mention what model year your E90 is. Hopefully, it's covered under warranty. If not, I would take another look at the wires, specifically UNDER the black electrical tape that holds them together. I didn't see any breakages in my own car until I removed the wiring assembly from beneath the plastic cover, and then removed the black tape. This seems to be a common experience.

Good luck.
