Difficult shifting recently like the gates are not where they were prior if you will

Is shifter loose and all sloppy and the trans not getting full gear engaged?

You broken your drvers' side motor mount.

 

Try letting the clutch out with the hood open- watch 

the engine to see if it hops out of the bay...

Or if you have an early car (pre 1971), the right side motor mount bracket itself may be cracked/broken.  Early brackets are a single piece of bent-over metal and stress fracture.  Later ones are welded up and much sturdier.

We definitely need some more information to diagnose.

 

To test your mounts as Toby recommends, it isn't about reving, it's about applying a load.

 

Have your foot on the brake and let out the clutch a little so that it wants to stall the motor. If the motor doesn't move dramatically, then that isn't your problem.

questioning effectiveness of communication, here. 

 

MB, at a stop with the car in 1st and the hood open,

and a safe amount of room in front of you,

try to drive away with the emergency brake pulled. 

 

This will 100% rule out what's happened to me twice now. 

Your initial description of what's happening makes it a likely possibility.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
