its not sealed, it just doesnt have a dipstick. There is a bolt you can take out on the driver's side of the transmission and add fluid. Make sure the car is level, running, and the headlights are on when you add it.

fluid goes in the side hole as mentioned above but fluid temp must be between, i think 30 and 50 degrees celsius with the car running, in park, level, and it should just start to pour out of the fill hole

Do yourself a favor, let the dealership or a qualified indy BMW technician handle this.
Yours is an auto transmission, it's not cheap, and I think the fluid is supposed to be a lifetime fluid, and has to be a certain grade/kind. Check your manual, or do some research.
Different year models, even manual or auto, I think they used different specific fluids.
If you mix with other stuff, you might risk messing up your tranny.
