So yesterday morning when ic tried to start the car it sputtered a little then it started i thought it was just cause of the cold weather. Then i came out the grocery store to go back home it started just fine i got home and it started parked for like 8 hours until later that night i went over to a friend's house and again it struggled a little then started so i got to my friends house started for like 30 mins the went to start it again and it wouldn't start at all so i thought it was just the Battery so we tried jumping it and it still wouldn't start but it did show a sprocket with an exclamation mark in the center i looked it up and its the automatic transmission warning what exactly does that mean....i could also see a leak under the car but it was dark so I couldn't really tell where out came from

Get the codes read. No telling what is going on. Fluid under the car and tranny light on isn't coincidence.
See if someone can pull the codes through the OBDII port using a code reader that reads BMW codes not a generic it will not help...
