    as a BMW specialty shop, the first thing that I would do is
    drive the car with my scanner looking at live data from the
    transmission. if the "new" (rebuilt) trans has the same
    problem as the original trans, this is not a trans problem.
    the communication "hub" for this car is the instrument cluster; everything from climate control to cruise control gets its signal via the cluster. without driving the car
    while you're watching live data is just guessing on what's
    wrong. you really need a BMW "master", likely at the best independent shop in town.
