I did see the pelican parts how-to, and I was mainly questioning the validity of it.
I completely agree about the fill plug position, but sometimes BMW does some crazy stuff. And the fact is, the E70 diff looks mighty similar to the E53 (at least the 3.91 in my 4.8is...). And the E70 instructions are very clear that it shouldn't be filled until the fill plug. As is the procedure for the rear diff on my G01 X3. Stupid, but that's what's throwing a wrench in my thought process.
If it took 700 ml to fill it to to the fill hole, that would be great. I just seem to remember it taking over 1 liter to fill mine for some reason. And the whole experience of the differential blowing up shortly thereafter has me on edge. haha. That $1600 part was a tough pill to swallow on an unscheduled repair. I wish I could find the official TIS procedure for this, but for one reason or another I'm having serious trouble.
