SOURCE: I cant remove the transmission dip stick on my 1992 BMW 525

Do you mean the brown flask shaped bottle with the black cap? They can get very tight over time. Best thing is to use a dry cloth or rag & give it your all. Anti Clockwise I'm sure!
If it's very slippy & covered in oil, dirt etc give it a wash with warm water & dish washer fluid. Something that will remove the grease. Dry it off then try again.
The bottle can be removed with the hose on the bottom still attached !!! If you need to hold it in one hand while trying to twist the cap of with your other hand.
If all this fails then may I suggest one of those handy gadgets for opening Jars. They can be picked up in most household goods stores. This should give you the leverage needed.

The 4L30E transmission is a "sealed" unit and as such does not have a dipstick. The only way to check your fluid level is to use the "higher" of the two drain holes on the bottom of the pan. You *must* do this while the engine is hot and running, otherwise all the fluid will have drained to the pan and will come out of the top hole all over you.When hot, the fluid should come up to the top hole. Stick a finger in, if you can't feel fluid, use a syphon or hand pump to shoot some up into it. I would strongly suggest dropping the pan and replacing the filter if you have over 100k miles. DO NOT have this trans flushed at a shop as the small galleries are prone to jamming with the gunk the flush will free up, and will cause the trans to fail.

SOURCE: 2006 BMW oil dip stick?

The newer power plants do not have a dip stick for checking oil level. Oil level is checked by either the I-drive or by using the BC stalk.

Where is the dip stick on bmw 325i 6cylinder

there are some models of BMW that do not have a dip stick. BMW figured people were doing more harm than good with a dip stick, being able to put in whatever fluid they wanted so they took the dip tick out of some models. the only way to get your oil checked is to go to a dealer or mechanic...

Show me how to remove starter motor bmw 318s tork bolt will not loosen

remove the dip stick tube and remove the upper screw from above
remove the bottom screw from the bottom.
some times the screw is stuck, you need to spray some lubricant and let it set for a while.
it's a tight spot so you need to turn the starter switch to top and move it downward on it mount.
