Re: E36- engine runs but car does not move??

Looks like you got a wet ECU problem. When this occur, the system falls into safe mode and keep the rpm below 2500 (i.e. closed loop) and may retard your transmission. To confirm this, if you encounter it again, drive into a shelter car park, stop the car and open your engine hood to air the engine for about 15 ~ 30 minutes. If the car functions as normal after that, get your ECU unit check and replace the cover seal.

If this is not the case, then you may want to check your auto tranny.
