I would think it's the switch/sensor on the transmission. Maybe disconnecting has same effect as being stuck in reverse?
I found this on another BMW forum:
My reverse light and mirrior would dip in any gear. Frist I thought it was the back up light switch and replaced it. Didn't do a thing. The way I fixed it was easy. The gear identification switch has a wire connected to it. That same wire splits in two and plug into a sensor that is a little forward of the gear identification switch. I just switched the two wires, somehow the wires were disconnected and someone put them on in reverse. problem solved..
