The reality is the dealer did nothing wrong and they sold the vehicle "as-is" which means they're under no obligation to repair it. It's not a lemon...it's a vehicle with over 100K miles on it.
He can try to rely on a goodwill repair but it's unlikely the dealer is going to do that given they didn't inspect it themselves despite the fact the check engine light was on. From what the OP said the dealer appears to have been upfront about the condition of the vehicle. Yes the salesman said something that alluded to the fact it was a $300 sensor. And it's likely the OP signed a document stating the documents he signed were the entirety of the sale and there are no oral agreements (which is standard contract law).
To the OP: Take it to a good independent (seems you have already done this) and have them check it out. There are many aspects to the transmission and this problem alone doesn't necessarily mean the entire transmission needs replaced. A good repair facility that specializes in BMW should be able to tell you what is wrong.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
