This seems like a transmission issue, the issue might be best resolved with a trip to your BMW technician. Look for fault codes and inspect for proper fluid level and condition. Some of the faults those systems have is a need for electronic updates, which in this case might mean replacement of the force motor driver chip inside the tranny control module. It could also be something internally at fault, something I am not prepared to diagnose from cyberspace. Ã â Â
