Hi Emily, the grinding noise could be indicative of a transmission problem. It's important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage. It could be a simple issue that just needs some lubrication, or it could be a more serious problem that needs to be addressed.

Emily, make sure you are using the proper gear shift technique. This car has a very specific gear shift sequence and not following it correctly can cause grinding noises. Check your owner's manual for the correct procedure and see if that helps.

Hi Emily, I had a similar issue with my BMW 8 Series and it turned out to be a faulty gear synchronizer. This is a common problem in these cars and can be fixed by a certified mechanic. I recommend taking it to a BMW dealership for a proper diagnosis and repair.
