You got an automatic light that came on when you punch the pedal and that is an indication that you have a trans problem. The DME is cutting the fuel to the injectors to prevent you from destroying the trans with aggressive driving.
Are you sure the P0171 and P0174 codes weren't from the previous problem? Did you clear the codes?
Since you got the auto trans light what kind of code(s) did you get for it? If you are not using BMW specific you may not be able to read the error code.

The codes were completely erased from the last time. Those were the pending codes when I got the light the first time around. Turning the vehicle off and on clears the light and the engine revs up good a few times (in park) but them starts to lose power. If it was a trans problem would it still kill the fuel to the injectors when it was parked?
This is exactly what happened last time including the light. It only came on once the last time when I was trying to test drive it and the codes were posted on the other thread. My hope is that it isn't a trans prob. It is gonna ruin my upcoming bday next week if it is (I deserve 1 happy Bday damnit!) and will make me pretty broke fast.
