The new 8speed transmission no longer require a tool to release it into neutral. I sure wish I had this info when my first X5 died in the middle of a busy intersection.

I'm going to print this on labels and post it several places in my car (under hood - in Trunk - On Owner's Manual - ETC)!! I even searched my owners manual for information and IT'S NOT THERE!!
I'M SHOCKED it's not on one of those bright yellow warning labels car manufacturers stick everywhere!
