Default Transmission Malfuntion

Hi guys I have a 535xi 2008 LCI and I noticed today on my way home from work my car wouldn't go into drive. So I would start the car (its in park). Then I would put my foot on the brake to engage D (drive) and it would put itself back into park. So I turned the car off and put it back on and everything was fine. 15 minutes into the drive I get a exclamation mark with a gear around it in YELLOW. Now the car doesn't move at all , any gear I put it in it just goes back to park. ( FYI Also my idrive screen has not worked for about a month now)

Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it would be helpful.

Solved!

After alot of research the problem was a $23 Automatic Transmission Plug Adapter. Which was on top of the vavle body in my transmission oil pan. Now my car shift like butter.
