Hi,You probably have issue with bad fuel or dysfunctional exhaust pump.

if your filter has not been changed in a while and the quality of your fuel in your state is not that good I'll advice a fuel pump replacement , and before you do that if you have access to the pressure tester ,test if pressure is optimum.

Do a check on all the fuses look for crack in the fuse .But as all items that are faulty are on the indicator stalk i would think its inside the indicator arm .

check that the transmission oil is bright red if tan colored replace it with a service run the fault codes to check for servo/solenoid and TCM problems check for VSS unit

The automatic transmission in a 1999, Series 5 BMW, which is classified as Tiptronic (access to individual Drive positions 1 to 5 is offset toward the Operator, from the P,R,N,D positions), and the transmission is lubricated for its' life; therefore, a dip stick is not available.

I had that problem in my 2006 BMW 316i. The timing chain became slack which neccetated having it replaced at 67K miles. Engine was only driving at very low power because of this. Note; Oil had been changed at recommended times.

This is the classic symptom of a bad battery. Your engine requires a lot of power to crank but the little lights in your dash require very little. if the battery is even a little drained it won't crank the engine, but everything else will seem to work fine. Either jumpstart the car (if it starts, then you likely need a new battery) or test the voltage at the battery terminal when trying to start the car. If the voltage drops below 12 volts you need a new battery (or at least a freshly charged one)

check the power in your battery if low recharge it.
