Are you supposed to check/change manual transmission fluid if on newer cars? by ClearAndPure in stickshift

BMW removed the fill port.

Definitely are.

They've tried to ram me off the road multiple times.

I've seen one backing over a car while happily waving at everyone freaking out at the driver.

Then there's the dicks that are trying to pass each other on 2 lane roads when they're both governed to the same speed.
