If you getting the message, you need to get the EGS module read to find out why you have the message. Throwing parts at it may or may not resolve the issue.
If I had to guess one of the speed sensor in the trans may be failing or one of the solenoid is failing. Car is getting old and things starts to fall apart.

Thanks for the quick response! So, I need to go to a BMW transmission specialist and have the TCM and all trans components checked? Hopefully it's just a minor repair...

have this problem for some time on my 2001 4.4.
It seems to be a contact problem with the shifter in the park position. starting in neutral takes care of the problem. If I remember correctly there was a recall action in the US with the ID 4954 or something like that. The tittle was something like "Replacement of the transmission gear position indicator switch" Good luck, Greetings from Luxemburg. |

Did your transmission problem shifted late on 3rd gear as well? That's when mine throws the code.

Still no luck on my Trans Failsafe message. I was checking on the voltage regulator and seems to be fine. So now I'm really out of option but to send it to a reputable transmission garage and diagnose it for me..... Will just wait and see...
