How to Replace the Transmission Fluid in a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Transmission fluid

To replace the transmission fluid in a BMW 3 Series, loosen the screws that secure the cover panel located at the bottom of the engine compartment. Once the panel is removed, you can loosen the drain plug on the oil pan to let the fluid drain completely. After the old fluid has been expelled, refill it using a pump: insert the necessary amount and then close the plug, ensuring everything functions properly.
