Fascinating.
On the E36, which has no prescribed transmission service interval or dip stick, there are two transmission sumps -- and only one of them has a drain plug. Replacingh the fluid means pulling one sump off completely...and pre-filling it prior to reinstallation.
On the Honda, which has a regular interval for transmission fluids and a dip stick, the fill plug is on top of the transmission. It would be a bad thing to fill it to that level. (I just refill using the dip stick tube.)
Also, I'd like to add that I am envious of the fact that you have never experienced a leak in any automatic transmission.
