It is located under the right front seat (Passenger Front). Refer to the diagram attached. Component A139 is the sensor in question, labeled as a Lateral-Acceleration sensor.

what is the question sure all the above. how to DIY a very complex trans, (super complex)\ it is no 4R60E , easy send on GM products. oops, last line says how to search for the problem. well this is common vast cars and truck this failure. howto best search means how to diagnose a failing transmission, (get the service manual on it,would be first. this box is complex 7 solenoids or so. , 5 speed box + oD + TTC LOCKE. ZF5HP19 causes: 1: external PCM/TCM error, or wiring from tcm to box bad, damaged. 2: bad solenoid TCC in the box. 3: bad TC the TCC locker inside TC is bad. the shop manual told all that. lacking the real manual ZF one can google the parts and they do have names, the connector as pins and all SOL can be Ohmed out, PAN ON . Measure ohms first, to all SOL. they are not using ISO names (ASE OR SAE) names for soleniods MV, EDS, TOT, OSS, TSS. so one must dig deep to learn those. OK TOT is box temp, sure. OK ss = speed sensors output and turban(input to box) so which one MV or EDS is it of the nifty 7 PAN OFF ANDSince one of the 5HP19 solenoids is located on the top of the valve body, it also has to be removed. CC is normally called EDS4 in this diagram it's call EDSWK. free manuals here https://at-manuals.com/manuals/zf-5hp19/ google finds this all in seconds. MORE LATER

Faulty relay

Sonds like the lift motor has stopped working.

If it got too hot the engine may have been damaged. You will need to have a cylinder compression test to make sure the engine is ok. Did the coolant get all over the engine? Some electrical connections may have gotten wet. Make sure it is getting fuel. Spray a little starter fluid into the throttle body.

This sounds like a fuel starvation issue. It runs for a second or two on easy start as that is what is burning as fuel. Do you have any warnig lights on the dash? Have you had the vehicle scanned for trouble codes? If you have to pay for the scan get prices at 4 or 5 different places as costs can be VERY different. Comment below with any Trouble Codes and I'll try to help you more. A broken timing chain should only affect the mechanical timing. If it runs and sounds OK when you use the easy start the chain should be set correctly.

is vehicle overheating now--possible leak from previous work done or failure of recient work done bring back and have mech review the problem

It is a modern BMW and crammed full of electronics, modules and sensors talking to each other over a Communication Network. For issues like this you need a local auto electrician and a pro grade scan tool computer to check for DTCs and Communication codes. The diagnostics provide the fix and the scan tool is bi-directional to allow for programming of modules. The Body Control Module is the brains behind a lift gate controller module and the alarm system module and sensors. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

There is a second pump but it is mostly to provide heat to the cabin heater. It is mounted under the air filter assembly. To check it try this. Turn the ignition key to the 'On' position. With your feet OFF the pedals press the start button. This turns on the pump but not the engine. Turn the heat to Max and the fan to Low. Put you head near the air filter box and listen. If you can't hear the pump try this. Using an extra long screwdriver or a long thin metal rod rest one end on the pump and the other to your ear. You should be able to hear the pump running. *NOTE* It may be louder than you think.

LATCH OUT OF ADJUSTMENT

Tire and rim? The rim may be different and hitting on the caliper. Slowly loosen the tire until it moves, then inspect the area of contact to see why it is binding.

you dont have one --no inertia switch

https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/can-bus-time-out-code-d9.650439/ A message from the transmission control unit highlighting that a check has failed to communicate, i. e. report in a timely fashion.

I would look for a leak and get it sealed before the boot section rots away.

Check there is power getting to the cluster and the ground point is good contact.

Give the dealership the VIN number and ask them to get you two keys and fobs. Get under the engine and connect a battery charger positive to the starter motor Red power wire, and the negative of the charger to the body. Then call the locksmith - auto electrician - alarm installer back and ask him to register the key to the anti-theft system. Then with the battery charger still connected, put a new fully charge battery into the vehicle. Job done. Or sell it for parts.
