BMW 328is unable to pull off in drive gear, works when manually changing gears on BMW 328is

Some BMW 328i owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle is unable to pull off in drive gear but operates correctly when manually changing gears. These problems may stem from various transmission system issues, including low transmission fluid, a faulty torque converter, or a worn-out clutch. Additionally, some owners notice delayed gear engagement, which can indicate low fluid levels, worn clutches, or malfunctioning solenoids. A shuddering sensation when accelerating from a stop in automatic mode has also been reported, suggesting potential transmission problems. Other factors contributing to the lack of acceleration may include clogged air and fuel filters, faulty oxygen sensors, or dirty mass air-flow sensors. In cases of manual transmission, even minor hydraulic fluid leakage can prevent the clutch pedal from functioning properly. It is recommended that owners have their BMW inspected by a professional mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues.
