That was my point, that you can't necessarily trust things that you just read on the internet. The Atlanta site contradicted itself in the opening paragraphs (my emphasis in red):

This article deals with the reasons behind an unexpected loss of reverse in certain BMW automatic transmission equipped vehicles, specifically the 3 series and 5 series vehicles that use the ZF5HP19 or "steptronic" transmission. This includes the popular 323i, 323ci, 325i, 328i, 330i, 525i, 528i, 530i, X3 and X5 models well as some others built in the 1999 to present model years

The fact that they are presenting themselves as experts, and then listing vehicles that don't even use the transmission they are discussing, is a warning sign. It may be a little harsh, but sometimes independent = in-dumb-pendent.
