Why didn't you bring it back to the dealer who did the tranny? If you bought me a car some other dealer worked on, I would be hesitant to work on it as well. Unless you have a warranty on the tranny no one is going to work on it for free. I'm hoping a BMW dealer did it. If so, they should be the people looking at it.

Well, Cold start problems usually point to bad MAF, Spark plugs or coils! coils more likely. scince you've replaced those, there are those kinds of problems on a facelift X5s. Search for intermidiate levers.

Although coincidences happen it would seem there is some link between the AT work and this problem. To take the AT out they would have taken down the exhaust and I would start looking there. The other issue is, they may have taken the top two bolts out from the top and disturbed something at the back iof the intake manifold.

Why not take it back to the guys who did the AT work?

check intermediate levers

Check the 02 sensors, if they took the exhaust down they could have got the b4 n after 02 sensors mixed up,
