The other day I had to jump start my 2002 BMW 325ci. I "trickle charged" the battery overnight and the following day as I was driving the car to get the battery replaced, the emergency transmission light illuminated when I stopped at a signal. When the light turned green, I accelerated and the car drove like a car with a manual transmission car drives when the clutch is slipping. It is out of warranty and I am female, so I'm hoping you can give me some advice before I have it towed to a repair facility.
Thanks!!

Hi Cindi D, have you installed the new battery yet? Did anything change? Sometimes a new battery can work wonders.
