How to Shift to Neutral in a BMW?
1 Answers
Other forward gears can be shifted to Neutral (N) at any time, but shifting from Park (P) or Reverse (R) to Neutral requires pressing the brake first. The vehicle must be completely stopped by pressing the brake before shifting from Neutral to other gears, except in special cases where Neutral can be directly shifted to a forward gear. Turning on the power does not require starting the engine, pressing the brake, or shifting gears. (First shift to Neutral, then start the engine, and subsequently shift to Drive (D)). Release the parking brake, lift your foot off the brake pedal, and begin driving.
