If you want to have submenu for a menu item, your best shot is to have it in Navigation drawer as you cannot create a submenu inside BottomNavigationView.

Also, as per material design guidelines, there should be only 3 to 5 top level destinations(or menu items) in our BottomNavigationView. If you have less than 3 items, it is recommended to use tabs. And if you have more than 5 items, it is recommended to have the rest items inside Navigation drawer. Please refer the link below:

For Add menu, you can use design:menu="@menu/bottom_navigation_menu" to your Bottom Navigation View.

Currently, You can't use subMenu in BottomNavigationView and only use maximum 5 menu items.

Check BottomNavigationView android developer doc.
