With that done I was able to use two wobble extensions from the wheel well to torque the fill plug back on.
As I am changing all of the fluids in my new to me 2012 X5D with 65k on the clock, I appreciate the time you had spent making these DIY threads Lambeau.

I have a 2013 X5 xDrive35i. I am planning to change the front differential oil. When I looked at the filler plug, it seemed not accessible from underneath the car. There is a rubber type of tubing running right in front of the plug, which can be pushed aside a little but the space is still very small. How did you get to the plug? Is the configuration different for X5D than 35ix? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
