Default 2009 BMW 528i Auto Transmission Problems

Hello, I am having issues with the automatic transmission on my '09 528i. The issues are when I want to accelerate aggressively from first gear and go up to like 40 or 50 mph, it will tell me I got a transmission malfunction and that I need to drive more carefully. It leaves me on one gear and my rpm's would keep going up and it won't shift. I have to pull over and turn off and restart the car again.

I would really like to know what it could mean or be, and I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks,
Jonas

It could be a lot of things. You need to buy yourself a BMW code reader, and then share which error codes are thrown.

Ok. Do you happen to know what is a good BMW code reader that I could buy, or that has worked for you?

Anyone will do as long as it can read BMW codes. When I got mine, I just typed, BMW Code Reader in the search bar.
