Sorry, there're no dipsticks for the automatic transmission.

The only way to find out is to put the car on a lift, undo the fill plug under the car and see if the fluid is at the level where it justs starts to flow out of the fill plug.

Make sure to check with either your BMW dealer or Bavauto.com to ensure you have the right kind of replacement fluid.

A filter change is also recommended.
