There is a grinding noise coming from the transmission, but only in 1st and 2nd gears. (And whle in neutral). A mechanic friend of mine has told me I need to put more trans oil in it, but I cannot find where to put it. He is unfamiliar with BMW's so does not know either. Is there a valve or reservoir somewhere and I'm just not looking in the right place, or is it a sealed unit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does yours have a dipstick? There are several transmission types for your car you need the numbers from the id tag on the pan. However, if you have grining noises, it probably needs more than fluid.
