Yea but how do you know when you’ve put enough in? BMW says to put it in till it starts to flow out the ‘in’ plug…

I have a really tiny pump I used to use for gassing up RC cars and planes that I use. Gets in the space no problem. Look for one of those from a hobby store.

I mean you actually take the shifter out of the transmission and pour it in through the hole where it came from.

Another trick I used to fill my maxima transmission was to drill 2 holes in the cap for the oil, insert one hose all the way to the bottom of the oil container and the other into the fill on the side of the transmission. Make this hose as big OD as you can, and long enough to reach comfortably into the transmission from next to the car. The other hole in the cap, stick your air compressor blowgun nozzle in.

Pressurizing the bottle will force the oil up the hose into the trans. Try to keep the holes in the cap close in size to the hose/blowgun
