If your BMW X5 goes into limp mode, it's typically due to a problem detected by the ECU related to the engine or transmission. You should see a check engine light on the dashboard. It's important to pull over as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Once you're safely parked, use an OBD II scan tool to read the error code that triggered limp mode. Check for any damaged parts and address the issue. If everything checks out, you can clear the code using the scan tool to remove limp mode. However, if you don't fix the underlying issue, the vehicle will likely go back into limp mode until the problem is resolved.

    The car's transmission got stuck in first gear as it slowly started moving, but it was fine once shifted into second gear.
