I have an issue with my 1990 BMW 750il automatic transmission auto/manual switch wanting to disengage from running on auto to manual after 16 seconds of driving. Each time I move the switch to auto, it seems like it would default to manual mode. Can anyone provide some input?
Try clearing computer of fault codes "trans program" , first disconnect battery (-) first then (+) cover battery with towel to prevent (arcing) then using a long screw driver clamp (using vice grips) terminals to screwdriver (wait 1 hour) this will clear computer of fault codes also make sure key is in ignition to position (2) . After on hour replace terminals on battery (+) first then (-) computer will read "PPPP" reset time , then start engine run for (5) minutes then shut off remove key your car should run OK after that . . .

Have your bmw dealers check switch it might need to be replace.
