I have been looking about for the refill point and dipstick levels for
my bm's auto transmission, i cant for the life of me find where it is
can someone please point me in the right direction.
I am finding a rather strange gear change happening, sometimes its
smooth, sometimes its okay, and sometimes it wont change when i need
it to ie: overtaking and i am getting quite abit of noise from
somewhere and have been told it me be due to needing some fluid in any
help with my new car would be wonderful :) thanks

There is no dipstick on this gearbox. Just drain and fill plugs.

I'd change the fluid as a first step.
