Yeah, it's the BMW. The switch is in the tail of the trans. I also had
trouble with the Parking Brake indicator, and hoped that the parking brake
switch and the reverse switch shared a connection that wasn't made, and that
this lived inside the console somewhere. It turns out the parking brake
switch was missing a return spring -- a purely mechanical issue, not
electrical at all.
Thinking the reverse switch might be in the shifter itself, I asked on the
BMW newsgroup. Somebody posted a pic of it on the tail of the trans, and I
should be able to get at it with my floor jack.
