It's part # 23007693739 and lists for $12.75 (US). I can't really look for dealers in Europe but I'm sure it would save you time and trouble if you didn't have to order from a US source.

Thank you sooo much, many times
I ordered that but now i'm afraid if any dust or water got into that hole.. can you tell me what is inside that ? transmission oil ? or...

Regards.

I'm a new owner and not too mechanically minded but I think the drive chain is in that housing. The owners manual just says "Oil Bath" but doesn't specify what type of oil. If you suspect that water or a significant amount of dirt may have gotten in, I'd guess it should be changed.

Hopefully someone in the forum has checked this out or has information concerning the spec's for oil type and if there's a drain plug on that housing.

I checked and i think there is the Gearbox oil and i want to change because i'm afraid... but i do not know what type of oil to put.
I know for engine that needs 15w50 but not sure about gearbox :/

Thanks

In your owner's manual, look at page 95 (maintenance - engine oil). Alternatively you can download pdf version of your manual here: https://ownersmanuals2.com/bmw/c-650-gt-2016-owners-manual-66352

EDIT: sorry misread your question that you want to check chain drive case oil level... I read somewhere that the "BMW" black plastic cover on the side can be removed to check oil level.
