The problem with using a press is that you don't get any feedback. I haven't done this on a BMW but it looks just like many other vehicles. Install it like any other similar seal. To the same depth as the old one.

You are right I have never dealt with pressing seals before. I want to make sure I do this right the first time so that I don't later have oil spilling on the floor, or have to replace the seal because I damaged it or installed it incorrectly.
I think what freaked me out the most is that BMW has special tools that press the seal into the cover. I don't have those tools, so I'm having to find another way of doing it.
