DCT Transmission Fault
Not had the opportunity to drive the Z recently, went to give it a run out earlier and the battery was flat. Tried to start it with a battery pack, but failed. Finally got it started using Jump leads. Once started it instantly threw up the transmission fault - please drive moderately message on the idrive screen. The gearbox would not change between any other year than P and N. Didn’t have enough power to turn off car and restart under it own steam. Any thoughts on what this good be?

Not quite sure but the first thing I would be doing is charging the battery up first and then see what happens. I know these beemers do not like flat batteries and can throw up all sorts of faults.

Doubt the transmission has any issues at all. Needs a fully-charged battery.
