Really important that you provide safety warnings on these videos. I needed to do the work you described under the car (it dose need to be jacked up to get this done - BUT as soon as the Neutral is engaged the wheels WILL BE FREE to move and even the slightest rocking can collapse the Jack. You MUST use wheel blocks. Please include safety instructions or someone will get seriously injured. Thanks.
This video saved me probably hundreds on dollors. The tow truck driver didn't even know this. I youtube how to put bmw in neutral without power and this popped up thanks good sir 🤠
Wow I always wondered what that tool was for and when I came out of Walmart and my car would not start I had to have it towed and didn’t have a clue how to put in neutral. Thank you so much for this video!!!
@@diydaly thank you so much. I’m so thankful that you took the time to make this video. I bought two X5’s as project cars and the xDrive needs this done in order for the cars to be able to move. Once again, thanks !
sadly this does not apply to the 2019+ There is no method to shift into neutral. You need to climb under the car and manually shift the linkage using a special tool apparently.

Glad I could help
I have the key barrel but it wont turn, my key fits but its stuck, ive tried wd 40 etc any suggestions? 2007 e70
Never come across that issue tbh , hard to say without looking
great info thanks
Don’t forget to scotch your wheels folks
Ok, so 5mm for the neutral screw.
But what size Allen or what type of tool is needed for the skid plate screws?
Thank you!
Either 8 or 10mm bolts

@@mesmaayan 👍👍
@@diydaly 8 mm
so one has done that and moved the car and charged the battery do you unwind it back or it doesn't matter.thanks
Yeah It will remain in neutral until the Allen key is undone
Cheers mate, appriciate the vid.
👍👍
Sure its in 2007 year?? Cant find it
It's not.

Arrr 🙈 that’s a step backwards isn’t it!
@@diydaly fucking absolutely. cant shift into neutral to towstrap the bitch out of a situation. Had I known I would have looked at another year/model
Actually if you can get power to the car there is a way to pop into neutral the good old fashion way
@@DB-xf6dn do tell
Good video. I haven’t seen the second type 👍
👍 this was only the second time id come across it Kev , thought it was worth sharing 👌
Very good thanks
Most welcome
Thanks, mine uses the key thankfully and is onto the tow truck and back home now . Hopefully nothing too serious.
Fingers crossed! 👍
Good job sharing
Thanks again mate 👍👍👌
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you so very much!
Glad to help 👍👍
Thanks
Welcome
I now know why those cars are dragged out of floods with all 4 wheels locked - you’d need a scuba kit
haha 👍
Bmw xdrive is unlocked in the front when the car is off
USE WHEEL BLOCKS SO YOU DON’T GET CRUSHED TRYING TO PUT YOUR STUPID BMW INTO NEUTRAL
Anyone else think this is absurd?
Thank you 🙋🏻♂️
👍👍
