OK, I'm back here again.
I had posted a thread last year about my problem. Pls read it for background on this.

So I went to BMW. After 2 trips out there the car was finally running good. No tranny light, no check engine light. Working fine for jus about a year. Now I am having the same damn problem with the tranny light and the car driving in "limp mode". I do not want to go back to BMW , they only seem to give me a quick fix, and really dont get into the problem. I had the air ducting changed, changed the main relay, had the mass air sensor changed twice. Every now and then, since I had this fixed last year, the check engine light comes on. After a few days it'll turn off.
Ok so yesterday that damn tranny light came on. (and the check engine has been on for 2 days) I've turned the car off and restarted...no light. I wasn't really worried about it. But today that light will not come off. Once I start the car, rev the motor....there it is. I turned the car off, start up again...no tranny light. Rev the motor on it goes.:shakehead
I'm wondering if it can be the throttle position sensor or the Inlet air temp sensor. I have a feeling it's something small. Something with the air / fuel mixture. I don't think it has anything to do with the tranny.
I can't be the only one that has had this problem!:frown: Pls HELP ME!
Thanks!
