    Default How to check the transmission fluid on a 95/525i (M50) Automatic

    Hi,
    Is there a way to check the transmission fluid level on a M50 with Auto tranny.
    I checked the Bentley and it lists nothing.
    I have noticed that when i put the car in reverse or Drive in the morning I have to press on the accelerator for the car to start moving. It does not roll as it did on my prev M20
    Also i have a kind of Jerky motion when the car changes gears. Is it the fluid or the Subframe bushings.

    Many Thanks
    Steve

    shift through all of the gears and then put it in park idleing and pull the fill hole plug and check it as you would a manual transmition.
