It's not like anyone checks it anyway. BMW transmissions have been without dipsticks for how long now? There is no warning light for fluid level and when was the last time anyone checked that? I'm not saying that I like the idea of not having a dipstick but it makes sense to make a car that way. Why waste money to add extra parts to the engine that 95% of people will never touch?
