1994 740i Check engine/Transmission Program (archive)

I just bought a 1994 740i with 140,000 miles on it to replace my '97 Explorer with transmission problems. Today, not 60 miles into my ownership of the car, I was coasting down a long mountain road. The check engine light began to flicker, then became solid, then the car had a hard downshift and the transmission program message came on. At the bottom of the hill, the check engine light went out and when I turned off the car and started it up again, the trans program message went away and hasn't come on since. The car runs and drives fine otherwise. Have I traded in one bad transmission vehicle for another? I would appreciate any opinions.
Jim
