Have you guys gotten these codes?

Hi, I'm surprised no one answered yet. Usually p0700 is a transmission code. This could be a shorted wire or a solenoid inside the transmission has failed.
The p0741 means there is a problem with the torque converter But it could also come up because of an internal transmission failure like a solenoid. Either way, a BMW transmission specialist is the best route for this. You probably found a solution by now but if not, hopefully this points you in the right direction.

Usually torque converter function is the first to go when a transmission is worn out. Clutches can no longer hold, and or pressure can't be kept up to hold the clutch applied. The TC takes a lot of pressure to apply and hold. I think it's going to be time for a replacement transmission. How many miles on the car and do you have any knowledge of a transmission service in it's lifetime?
