Parking Lock Operation





On the E60, the parking lock is operated via the selector lever in the center console. A cable assembly provides the connection to the gearbox (as on the E46 and E39).
The drive range switch and the hydraulic selector are operated together by the selector lever in connection with the cable assembly.

Mechatronics Module





The mechatronic module is a combination of the hydraulic valve body and electronic control module which are installed in the oil sump. This offers the advantages of improved shift quality, increased driving comfort and increased reliability due to the reduced number of electrical connections and interfaces.
The hydraulic valve body contains valves, springs, dampers and electric solenoid valves. The electronic control module manages the complete electronic control of the transmission and is an integral part of the valve body (replaceable as a complete unit). The electronic control module is completely sealed and oil tight.
