Описание: Manually putting the gear in neutral in a 2011-2017 BMW X3 F25 can be necessary in certain situations, such as when the vehicle's battery is dead and you need to tow it. Here's how you can do it:

Instructions:

Park the Vehicle:
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake for safety.
Turn the Ignition Off:
Turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove it from the ignition switch.
Locate the Manual Release:
Open the center console storage compartment between the front seats.
Inside the storage compartment, locate the manual release lever or button.
Activate the Manual Release:
Depending on the specific model of your BMW X3 F25, the manual release may be a lever or a button.
If it's a lever, pull or push it to activate the manual release mechanism. If it's a button, press it to activate the mechanism.
Shift to Neutral:
While holding or activating the manual release, move the gear selector lever to the "Neutral" position. It should move freely without resistance.
Ensure that the gear selector lever is securely in the neutral position before releasing the manual release lever or button.
Release the Manual Release:
Once the gear selector lever is in the neutral position, release the manual release lever or button.
Verify Neutral Position:
Double-check that the gear selector lever is indeed in the neutral position by gently attempting to move it.
Ensure that the transmission is in neutral before attempting to tow the vehicle or perform any other operations.
Close the Center Console:
After verifying that the transmission is in neutral, close the center console storage compartment securely.
