It would help if you state whether you have a MANUAL or AUTOMATIC
transmission!

It helps to know if you have a manual or automatic, and the model year.

I going to go out on a limb and assume you have an E36 with the manual
transmission. There is a plug on the bottom to drain the fluid, and another
on the side (passenger side for LHD) models that is the fill hole. Fill
until fluid pours out of the hole. The capacity should be 1 liter (1.1qt.)

(It does not seem logical to me, but the pictures in the manual make it
appear as if the automatic transmission is done the same way, but the
capacity is 1.2 liters (1.3 qt.))
