Very hard to know exactly what is wrong and not very usefull anyway. Unless you have low mileage, you want to rebuild the Torq Conv if you take the trans off. If the Torq conv. is the culprit you still want to do a cleanup and overhaul on the trans. If the torq conv is ok, then you know something is wrong in the trans but you still would want a refresh on the torq conv. So, it is 6 of one or half a dozen of the other, either way you need the work done.
Ofcourse I'd recommend to DIY as I have seen reports of X5 coming back from R&R at transmission shops and still having issues whereas the guys on here who DIY seem to come out ok..... (I did mine and am very happy) YMMV :-)

If you have tried changing the fluid and filter, and updating the software, you have done all the easy stuff. There is no single cause of transmission shifting problems. People all want to find the silver bullet, but there simply isn't one. It could be in the torque converter, the valve body, the solenoids, the wiring harness with the temperature sensor, the electronics, etc. These are complex transmissions, and small issues can cause these sorts of problems.
If you can't live with it the next step is to have the transmission overhauled.

Ok the simtems could be lot, so the best bet is to just, have the transmission overhauled.!!

Try a dealer diagnosis?
The only sure way to know what's wrong it to take it apart and examine in. But, the dealer's computer (or perhaps an independent shop with the right equipment), can potentially detect clutch slippage electronically, which might steer you to specific issues. In any case, you got a tranny problem which is likely going to require taking it out. Trust me, it won't get better on its own! Having looked into this myself, a $3K rebuild is likely your least expensive option.

Read the threads by Civdiv, RDM and mine.
I would recommend to get: AT overhaul kit Friction disk set Valve body overhaul kit Replace all bearings (at minimum output bearing and radial A/B) Remanufacture the torq converter while the AT is out.
