Most likely you have a clutch-pak starting to fail /slippage - not speed sensor as the input shaft speed is 'reading' different than output in high gear. There may be some saving grace if this just occoured - locate a good independent BMW shop, If no other choice - Dealer. If independent, make sure the shop MUST have either (at least) GT-1 or a Autologic scan tool to properly diag. Make sure you ask this question. Any other scan tool is a waste of time.

It IS possible that the speed sensor has actually failed or the trans has been leaking fluid and had finally got to the point of low fluid level causing slip.


PM me if you need to discuss further..........
