Importantly, before these problems, I have had a leak in the cooling system and the engine was driving on very low water for some time. smoke came out of the engine bay and the car was towed. Could be that the engine overheated slightly but the auth. bmw dealer said nothign was damaged.
The cooling system was replaced incl. hoses and water pump, thermostat.
The mechanic said this overheating could have been related to the transmission failure. is it possible and what parts could be affected by this?

This shop sounds like a bunch of clowns at best.
"bmw dealer said nothign was damaged." then
"The mechanic said this overheating could have been related to the transmission failure."
If you were near the Vancouver area, I'd tell you to come down and i'll hookup my computer and also help you diagnose it. For a case of beer or a lap dance from a girl at the local clubs here. JK LOL
Seriously, you should probably get a second opnion from an indie that specializes in these types of cars!
Now assuming the transmission did in fact overheat you likely could have damaged the friction plates in all clutch packs, possibly the friction steels in all clutch packs and the pistons... However I'm still not convinced that it is not the valve body or realted components...
Did these problems develop after they serviced the transmission by any chance?
