it could be several things
low or no fluid.
the bands need adjusting.
the gear box pumps could be knackered
the lever could have become disengaged.
there could be something else wrong and the on board computer has shut the gearbox down to prevent irreparable damage

Hi there. I had a BMW 325i auto and it was having problems with the gearbox and would go into "emergency mode" which did not allow me to leave 1st or 2nd gear. I stripped the base plate and replaced the transmission oil and the oil filter. Usually people don't realise about the filter and just change the oil. changing that usually cures the problem if it is an old vehicle. However in my case this did not and I had to also change the solenoids (of which there are three) which was a horrendous job and very messy it solved the problem but was a nightmare to perform. I would suggest to take it to an auto box specialist who could probably do it quicker and with less hassle. Hope it helps

Move the lever toward the 'D' sign. Then try the 'R' sign. If this doesn't work, then you will need to exchange the entire gearing system. Why don't you go to your local BMW dealer. They should have a maintenancee department in there somewhere!
