When I changed the TC on 328xi, I was able to pull the drive shaft out of the TC by utilizing the flex at the CSB. I don't recall exactly where the flex was. Oh maybe on that car I just unbolted the guibo and had to remove all the CSB bolts to drop the drive shaft. I've not removed the drive shaft on e53 but looking at realoem, it looks very similar and if you can remove the front half of the shaft from the TC @ guibo you off course can pull the DS out of the diff.

Find my thread on changing rear bearings as you can use tricks on there to change CV axle without dropping suspension or the exhaust.
