No clue when the 1st fluid change was, I just bought my car and changed all the fluids. The oil pan was Original BMW but I doubt that this was the 1st fluid change. The magnets were not full of grime, typical wear.
The ZF fill procedure specifies that you need to do the second fill between 30C and 50C (not F, C). You stated that it was a 70?? by the time you tightened the fill plug.
You can use a screw driver to pop the cover off the bottle.
What I would suggest (I know that it is a pain) would be to crack open the fill plug, don't remove it. And start the car, warm it up and then check the fill once you hit 30C. If fluid comes out, then you are good, nothing to worry about.
Use a level on the oil pan to make sure that the car is leveled.
