Yeah it needs to be running. Here is the DIY for my 325, but again check for your 335.

"10) After about 8 minutes (you do not have to shift through the gears all this time), with the car still running, I placed my hand on the transmission pan, it was warm therefore it should be between 86 -122 degrees F. I opened up the fill hole and no oil was coming out." http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=367729

If no codes are being thrown use Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner (concentrate). It solves rpm fluctuating upon cold start-up. Also, for most BMW problems start off by scanning your car with the Peake Research Tool. It contains the actual BMW codes. If you want to register a newly installed battery for free (just buy a $10 cable) and google/download BMWLogger
