Follow the given steps to check the Transmission Fluid level on your BMW 325i:
Allow the car to idle. Raise the hood and find the transmission dipstick. It will be located toward the back of the engine compartment. It may be a different color than the motor oil dipstick. The transmission fluid dipstick may even have a picture or words on it. A telltale sign is that the tube the dipstick fits in is smaller than the motor oil tube.
Grab the top of the dipstick and pull it up and out of its tube. Wipe it off with the old rag. Then, replace the dipstick, making sure you push it all the way down.
Pull the dipstick out. Check to see how far up the fluid reached on the stick. (If you don't see any fluid at all, that means there is none.) If the fluid reaches the "Full" mark, then you don't need to add any. If the transmission fluid reached below the full mark, you need to add enough to bring it up.

Where do add transmission fluid to a 2001 BMW 325i?
if it is an automatic there will be a filler neck in the engine compartment, if it is a standard however, there will be a plug on the side of the transmission that will need to be unscrewed, fill until fluid just trickles out and bolt it back up, the fact that you need to top up the level makes me think there is a leak somewhere (front or end seal, or the case itself, find it, leaks only get worse Uhm.... this answer is completely wrong! Your 2001 BMW 325i has a lifetime fill so the only way to check it is on a lift and this is something I would recommend you have a professional do. If there is something going on with the transmission fluid in that year and make of car it's most likely a leak.
