Changing ALL the Fluids - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

With 1500 miles on the car, I want to dump the Oil, Manual Trans Fluid and the Differential Fluid.
The dealer thinks that this can not be done, as the trans is "sealed".
I have a hard time beleiving that there is no drain plug on the manual transmission.

Is there an on line parts diagram that I can look at?
Where?

I believe that it is "sealed" but it still can be done I think. They say it has "lifetime" fluid in it.

There might not be a drain plug.....but you can remove the whole pan to change the fluid....cause that's how I changed my transmission fluid before....then resealed it with a new filter/gasket/silicon.

I have the manual transmission. There is no pan.
