What model and year is your BMW? On BMW's there is no way to check the Transmission Fluid except by getting the car on a lift and opening up the drain plug and sticking your finger inside. Check your transmission lines, on many cars, they are often leaking fluid and it will get to a point where there is not enough fluid to get the torque converter working. The transmission fluid lines are almost exclusively located on the drivers side frame rail, under the air box. If you have seepage at the ends, then you need your lines replaced and your transmission oil cooler replaced also.
