You can check the resistances on your tranny with a DMM at the tranny ECU end:
Output speed sensor: 325 ohms
Input speed sensor: 325 ohms
Temp sensor:
820 ohms at 0 deg C, 962 ohms at 20 deg C, 1118 ohms at 40 deg C, 1289 ohms at 60 deg C
EDS (Pressure regs x 5) No.1= 5.9 ohms Nos 2-5= 6.4 ohms
MV (Magnetic valves x 3) 28 ohms
I've had an input sensor go out with the symptoms you describe. If the code check comes up with 'Turbocharger speed sensor' (which it may if you go to BMW), it really means turbine sensor which is the input one
