2007 BMW 328i coupe Has cog with exclamation mark light on and a whining sound
The illuminated COG on the dashboard is the Transmission Fault Warning Light. The sound you're hearing is probably the transmission locked in "get home" mode or "limp" mode. If you're going to attempt to repair yourself you'll need to start with a quality BMW specific scan tool to see what the system says is causing the fault, then trouble shoot from there. I've used a Schwaben Elite scanner on several of my bimmers with great success.https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-by-foxwell-parts/professional-bmw-mini-scan-tool/014020sch01a~scf/
How can I get the HDC to turn off in my 2002 bmw x5?
To turn off HDC on a BMW, all you have to do is press the HDC button located on the center console. The button will have an image of a vehicle going downhill with a speedometer above it, and you'll know it's off if there are no lights illuminated above it. If you ever want to turn the system on again, just press the button again.
