Not totally true. I've had that warning a few times over the last 140,000 miles that I've had my E53 and there is no sign that the tranny is going south. Often it is just a software glitch that clears when the vehicle is turned off and back on.

That said, it is a good idea to have things checked out by a qualified mechanic to be sure there isn't really something wrong.
