Putting G80 in neutral without starting engine
Is there anyway to put G80 automatic in neutral without the engine running? I did see a posting earlier on another thread, but they all circle back to switch on drive-ready mode.. you can switch the engine off after your in neutral....

In a dire situation you use a 5mm hex to tighten one bolt near the trans oil pan. Tightening the bolt pushes up on a disconnect lever.

I don’t think later models eg G8x have the screw, just a lever.

In the event of a situation that the battery disconnect operates (separates the battery from electrical system) then you can not operate the starter.... I am going to assume that holding down on the start button creates enough pressure in the transmission to allow the "parking lever / dog" to disengage. If you track your G80 and have a off and need to have a tow, and trying to convivence track services that you need to start your car to get it towed is a argument, as your holding up everyone else. Wish there was some other option than having to engage the starter to get the car into neutral. Asking the services to "dolly" your car to the paddock is going to be equally laughable. |

Hovering around a similar subject, here is a video from the wrecked G80, but they show how it's done on an F90.

Perhaps related, I have a 6 speed and I cannot figure out how to disengage the parking brake without starting the car. The manual refers to drive-ready mode. Any secrets on releasing the brake without the engine running?

triple press the start stop button without pressing the clutch this will put you into diagnostic mode then you can disengage the parking brake and the car will roll

Thanks for that, I was unaware and it could come in handy some day.
