There is prob more qualified people on here than me but I reckon the box might be fooked. I will have a 323i I will be breaking end of next month, you can have the one out of that if u come and pick it up.

I think it's a bent selector fork. I had an 02 that did the same thing. You could select 2nd but if you came off the throttle and then nailed it again, it would jump out of gear. I had to replace or rebuild the box. Someone with mechanical knowhow may have a better idea?
