Hi All,

Before I take apart my 325i Auto's gear selection housing, can anyone tell me how to change the bulbs, please, and how to get them.

The reverse bulb has blown.

Thanks very much.

Its should only have one bulb that moves with the gear stick!
Its a small led attached to the gear stick should just pull out!

Hi Everhard.

Thanks for the advice, but that's really weird! When I select the gears, as it goes from park to drive, it lights all of them, apart from the reverse.

I'll have another look, but I think that's how it works.

Do you know how to get to this, i.e remove the cover to get to the light, please?

Many thanks.

Put your fingers down the hairy bit and lift off the numbered panel - it only clips in
