My girl'* aunt'* beemer is stuck in park.
It turns on fine and there wasn't any abnormal behavior before this either.
I searched a bunch on bimmerforums.com but couldn't find anything.
I did find this through google though:

Basically says the shifter calbe may be loose.

Any other thoughts or ideas?
Any input is appreciated.

brake lights work? hit brake to shift out of park?

Any pressure on it, like on a hill, or anything that would put excess pressure on the parking pawl?

Not sure on the brake lights but the steering wheel was jiggled and brake hit.

Nope. Its in a flat parking space.
