Big time problems help me

[riot]

Its been happening slightly for about a week or so now, but whenever my automatic 525i shifts it is a very very hard shift. Today it just started a new problem (related) it will not shift out of first for a long time and when it does.. BANG hard shift. I dunno if this is related but it started happening around teh same time, the D that shows the gear you're in doesnt show the d. it shows all the others but not D. HELP ME PLEASE !!!!! I need to know what is wrong so that I may fix it ASAP.

Sounds like your transmission fluid is low? unsure how to top these up but it'll probably be in your owners manual.

I dont get any trans program on my obc, but I cant help but thinks its the transmission. Unless it something electrical... i need a seasoned BWM tech to help me out on this one. Please
