Help please - Auto box gear problem

Hi everyone, Iv got a 325i can auto. If I put the car in drive and the setting in either 'S' or 'E' it won't change gear. If I place the selector in '1,2,3' then it will give me manual gears.

Re: Santa Pod show

Here’s a few pics that have been taken from Santa Pod at the weekend, big thanks to Kos at C_Unit and Mike Smith Media. It was a great day even though a little a little costly to enter. http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a436/stevetrayandaaron/2014%20santa%20pod/BMWShow1_zpsc2c9989f.jpg http://i103...

Cheers guys for the great comments.
I used a DA with a Menz cutting compound. It needs another cut then I'll put a covering of poorboys black hole and seal it with Z8. The car has 97k on the clock with nearly full service history.

Gloss black with black leather, A/C, switchable auto, OBC, and power hood. That's a good spec cabrio! Odd that it has one heated seat switch though? Original Hexagon BMW car as well? Good to hear you are going totally OEM with it but its crying out for 15" BBS. That will be the only up grade, it's ...
