Gearbox fault is the selector on the side of the gearbox had it with a 325 Ci recently goes into limp mode and picks away in third gear and other times it would behave itself what I did was unplugged the switch cleared the code and plugged it back in and it was fine. My mum had a y reg 325ci had it for years we got her a 320 with the 2.2 engine both automatics it was nicer place to be coz it was the msport last of the run but u could tell the difference when u picked away coz the 320 was 170hp and the 325 was 194hp and she had it for 6months and we had to get the old one back
