Good day folks
Totaled out my 330cic, just sitting at red light. Bought myself am 05' e-60 auto transmission. Just hit 50k. Want to replace trans fluid.I had this done on my 330cic and the difference was amazing. Tech even said the crap that came out was disgusting. Went with redline. My question is WHERE THE HELL IS THE FILL PLUG ON MY E-60 ???????
My tech has created a purge system that he used on my 3 sreies with great success. He took a look at the e60 and said he did not see a tranny fill hole. He said he did not do a meticulous search thinking maybe I knew or had a manual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. looking forward to cahatting and learning about the wonderful nuances of the E-60.
many thanks

One must use the exact transmission oil as spec'ed by BMW. If you don't, you will definitely blow your transmission. I know my 06 uses Shell oil, which is not available anywhere but the dealer.

This is also why it's a good idea not to trust what any mechanic says that isn't BMW certified... No matter how good they are chances are when it comes to BMW's they don't know ****
THANKS FRIEND.....................I WILL BE VERY DILIGENT IN USING THE CORRECT TRANSMISSION FLUID......... I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE BLEEPING FILL HOLE IS

Just do it at the dealer as I did.. They asked me just EUR 54 for the oil and didn't charge the job.
