It has to do with your automatic transmission. It is electronically controlled. Have an independent BMW shop or transmission shop diagnose the issue.

It could be a sensor, or something internal to the transmission, hard to say without hooking the car up to the proper BMW diagnosis software, equipment. A generic OBDii code scanner is not enough.
