simple question

my 2007 E70 V8 HAS a transmission dipstick on it.... my question is, do you check the fluid level with the car idling or with the car off??? i couldn't even find the answer on the owners manual.

i may or may not have a small leak, but in order to find out i need to know how to properly check the level....

thanks
Where are you seeing the "transmission dip stick"? My 08 does not have one and neither does my 01 E38. If you are meaning the small dip stick at the right front of the engine, that is for engine oil, not the transmission.
