Yes to clear the codes you can go to any Auto shop and have hem erase them, although that won't fix your problem. I had a 2005 745li that I started having transmission problems (fail safe mode) with and it turned out to be the the transmission coolant system wasn't working properly.

Bmw should have a recall because in the x5 that's becoming a major problem many many people complain about that contact a BMW dealer and make a complaint maybe they will take care of you on some hush shit lol
