How would i be able to tell my transmission oil level on a bmw 328i?

I have a 2007 BMW 328i. Recently it has been leaking transmission oil I believe and want to know how to check the levels on the car. I want to be able to drive it but I don't know how to check the levels or if I should Please help.How would i be able to tell my transmission oil level on a bmw 328i?The transmission is called a 'sealed unit'. So, basically one just can't check with going to a lot of procedures.



In order to do so, one has to lift the car up(and level it) and open the fill hole to check it. Opening the fill hole is not easy either.How would i be able to tell my transmission oil level on a bmw 328i?the automatic transmission usually all have a dip stick for the transmission, just like the motor has a dipstick for the engine oil.

that being said you'll have to find out first about what you have to do before trying to read the dip stick for the transmission. unlike a motor where you have to turn the engine off in order to read the dip stick, an automatic transmission has to have the engine running and maybe even in drive position. not sure about that part. you would do well to let someone read it for you that knows what they're doing. burn that transmission out and your talking thousands of dollars.How would i be able to tell my transmission oil level on a bmw 328i?About the only way to tell if the fluid is low and how low it is without tools involved is drive it and when it stops moving its to low. Wow a 2007 BMW is already spewing a fluid.. Who would have known..How would i be able to tell my transmission oil level on a bmw 328i?
Look in the glove compartment. You'll find the owners manual in there. Answer inside.
