Default Transmission needs to be reset after not driving

Hello, so my transmission adaptation needs to be reset every time after about 24 hours, if not driven.

If it is not reset, the car will not move unless I give it max torque, then it moves slowly, a little and everyone wakes up.

After a while of driving (in max torque because it stays in first gear and barely moves) it finally begins to work normally and change gears.

And if I've driven with it a couple hours ago and try again, it works normally right away.

But resetting the transmission adaptation makes it work normal and fine right away,otherwise it really doesn't even move at all.

Did you read the BMW specific DTC codes? It sounds like you may just need transmission maintenance. But read the codes first though.

Thanks, the transmission was fixed because of a broken oil pump couple years ago, I'll read the codes tomorrow.

Sounds to me like your fluid wasn't filled back up properly and it's low if you have to keep resetting adaptions which is not good for the transmission. Just guessing without codes.
