From my experience with Auto boxes, they are usually filled via the gearbox dipstick...

Drain it completely and consult your owner manual as to how much and what type( if it needs a special type (unlikely)).

By the way, don't forget to replace the drain plug before you re-fill it... :blink:

      MW F30 330E FLYWHEEL COMPATIBILITY

      Hi, I am reaching out to inquire about a specific matter regarding flywheel parts for my vehicle. I have been investigating the following flywheel part numbers and would like to determine if they are compatible for the same flywheel: 1. 8681723 2. 8690203 3. 9454556 From my research, I found that part number 1 is applicable for vehicles manufactured from 2016 to early 2017. In contrast, part numbers 2 and 3 are meant for vehicles produced from July 2017 onwards. My vehicle, a 2017 BMW F30 330e (RWD, 1998cc, 185KW, 252HP B48B20A), falls under part number 1, as it was manufactured in April 2017. Given that these models are closely related, I am curious if the later part numbers (2 and 3) could also function in my vehicle. In the UK, I have been unable to locate aftermarket part number 1 at a reasonable price, but options for part numbers 2 and 3 are abundant. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or clarification anyone can provide on this matter. Thank you for your assistance.

      Air bag fault

      Hello all, on the topic of the failure code 28 "oil thermal sensor oil level defect", considering this is an early vehicle that does not have an oil thermal sensor, and I do not have a fault on the dash, is the fault above an oil level fault and not an oil thermal sensor? I have read that if the oil level sensor fails the car will not start. is this true? Many thanks all for the great support!! Dimitri

      Burst tyre and alloy damage

      Yep I agree re the dealer, the pain is I've been looking at getting the wheels refurbed, just haven't settled on a place. I suppose if I get a new wheel the others can be matched to it or near enough. I will make sure the alignment is checked as well. As u say that's what insurance is for. The day was going too well!
