Hey, I have a 2018 540i xd as well and got the same message. I couldn't shift into any gears. I contacted PTF support and they scheduled a remote session in which they were able to fix the problem for free.

I highly suggest you contact them again and get a remote session. Save your $

This is what I did. It happened twice and PTF fixed it within an hour, for free.

Keep working with BM3. Milan told me the same crap about having BMW inspect the car but Serge hooked it up and my tune has worked great ever since.

This is because your tune is saved in the cloud. When a file gets corrupted or is missing, it will be missing when you reflash. PTF flashed me back to stock to make sure everything was working ok, then they reflashed my Stage 1 tune. Everything is fixed and I can flash without any issues.
