Daughter's 1999 E46 is having shifting issues, rough upshifts and clunky down shifts...gear with ! is lit up in the panel, few other issues. Not looking to spend a fortune as this car has 190k miles.
www.bimrs.org and www.bimmershops.com Likely the tranny is toast. New (rebuilt) they're upwards of $3500-$5000. Might be able to get a used one for ~$1500. Might be better to get a newer car.
Ditto on all Floyd's points, probably lucky to get that far with an auto tranny. Wish there was a less expensive solution to fix automatics.
