2013 bmw f06 gc transmission issue

*first post -I've had My 2013 650i gran coupe for about a year now with absolutely no trans issues whatsoever and all of a sudden failure! The first time it happened I was turning left and went dead with barley any movement when hitting gas pedal while the engine revs normally. I immediately pulled over turned car off waited a minute and started , all back to normal . About a week later same thing happened while turning left and this time restarting wouldn't help at all . Got it towed home and started to assess the situation. I started car put it in gear (which shifts into gear normally) but car will barley move unless I give it a rolling start . It shifts into drive and reverse no problem but still no movement and when I try to put it in park it give me an error message saying I have to press brake to put it in park which I am but still won't unless I put it in neutral first and then park . Any advice from anyone here will surely be appreciated

Could be a range of things but my money would be on a failing transmission control module. Were there any warnings on the iDrive?

I'm with Hugo. The fact that it behaved normally the one time after restart indicates that the failure is not mechanical, but electrical.

Drivetrain malfunction was the only indicator on I drive

If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that the TCM is covered on extended warranty. I forgot the mileage limit.
