Help!!!! ASAP! 911!
Somehow my girlfriend wrecked my car in our parking garage. I'll explain in detail later. Right now my car will not start nor can I get it into N. I'm blocking traffic. How can I get it into neutral???

Also did you turn the car off after the crash? Send me some info on what happened. It should be stuck in neutral if airbags are out. |

I'll explain later but a five gallon water jug my girlfriend picked up from the grocery supposedly exploded , got on the battery, and caused the car to by itself floor into the wall, then by itself go into reverse and accelerate 20 ft and hit the concrete beam. All while the emergency brake was on and her foot on the brake. Omg. So mad.

If you’re blocking traffic, just explain the situation and call the police to help. Hope you square things away. Be safe. |

I'm guess that if the battery shorted then trying to disconnect/re-connect isn't going to work. I think the only way to access the park release in the DCT is under the car. You might need to contact a tow company to drag the car, or if they can't get into the garage then you should get a come along and try to manually winch it yourself. Either way, if you can't get under the car you're probably going to drag the wheels. Either way, you've gotta follow-up on this, because that is absolutely the weirdest shit I've ever heard of happening from a battery. Hope you have Farmer's because I'm looking forward to their commerical about knowing some things because they've seen some things on this. |

The other is that if there is actual water damage on that battery, try to find out what electrical issues can do in a car, if there are any possibilities. Unless the whole thing was staged, I am so confused man i feel sorry for you. |

Ask building management if they can give you a copy of the CCTV film. It might be possible to zoom in enough to see what kind of inputs the driver was making.
Also from what I've heard you can't put a DCT into neutral...there might be a manual override underneath the vehicle that can be accessed with some allen keys. The post you referenced was a thing in pre 2012 vehicles, where you could pop out the cupholders and manually put the car in neutral. 2012 Onwards BMW got rid of that and instead changed the location of the override to underneath the car.
