I have been looking about for the refill point and dipstick levels for
my bm's auto transmission, i cant for the life of me find where it is
can someone please point me in the right direction.
I am finding a rather strange gear change happening, sometimes its
smooth, sometimes its okay, and sometimes it wont change when i need
it to ie: overtaking and i am getting quite abit of noise from
somewhere and have been told it me be due to needing some fluid in any
help with my new car would be wonderful Smile thanks

I'd change the fluid as a first step.
