Has anyone done a Transmission filter and fluid change and caused more issues?

IMO you did us all a favor. It has now been conclusively settled that, at least for model years 2002 - 2006, changing the transmission fluid should, per BMW's maintenance schedule, be done around 100K miles. Anyone saying otherwise will have their reasons but know it's in opposition to BMW's stated maintenance schedule.
