Welcome to the forum.

Transport mode issues seem to come up here pretty much every week at the moment pm so I suggest you read through some recent posts using the search function. From what I can recall, you’ll need to find someone with BMW’s own diagnostic software INPA on a laptop to delete transport mode. Unfortunately it is beyond the scope of generic OBD fault scanners.

Hi and welcome OP. :thumbsup:

As Chris says transport mode is a common issue but apparently needs to be sorted by someone with INPA. My understanding is that it should be deleted by the selling dealer during the PDI, but many just turn it off as it's quicker! :headbang:

It might be worth saying where you are based, as there are some forum members who would be able to solve your problem.

Oh, and don't forget we like photos on here. :lol:

So Mr. T, if deleted does this mean you never have to worry if the battery goes flat?

Yes, I'm sure that's what Ducklakeview said in one of the previous threads on this topic. That's why it's supposed to be deleted rather than just disabled.
