Trying to shift into reverse gear on a 6spd manual 540i, but I always end up in 1st. I've tried pressing it down to go over to reverse but it ain't working. I've jumped the curb three times now.

This is pretty tough you really have to pull it to the left, i have driven that exact car.

apparently the transmission is known to lose its ability to shift into reverse :( Sorry to break the bad news

so much for the "ultimate driving machine" I guess
