I was actually told that there is a drain plug. UKR - what's your source of info?

Mine has no drain plug... verified visually.

I have no idea right now, until Friday. The local shop says there's a drain plug. So does an expert on another forum.

Update: I went to the local BMW independent shop and had the differential oil changed (for breakin maintenance purpose). Alas, there is no drain plug, so the drain and fill had to be from the same opening.

The cost is less than the oil change at the dealer.
