I don't think they call it DEF, so you might ask for Adblue.........they'll probably understand that.
The fill neck for the main tank is near the windshield fluid cap on the passenger side. You'll have to use the orange tool in the trunck to put in the square recess of the plug. Check your owner's manual out for more details. The second refill point is on the driver's side, beneath the air intake tube (you'll have to remove) and it looks just like the primary spout.
Good luck !!

AdBlue rings a bell, I heard that before.
Thanks a lot for the answers. I just ran outside and found the two valves you're referring to. They (BMW LUX) should know that and I wonder why they kept talking about the pressure device.
Clear indication to me that they have no plan and simply try the "let's use something technical and expensive to put him on old"-tactics.
So basically anyone can refill it and you won't need the BMW service for that. It's like adding motor oil or gas, you won't ask BMW for that either...
Thanks for the quick help. I can't wait to call them tomorrow.
