Can't we just use some transfer pump to suck old fluid from fill plug and then we save the effect to deal with drain plug? Although there is a little trade off as suction might not as complete as let fluid drain from drain plug... But I don't mind maybe a few drops of old fluid left over.

I used Redline 75W90 part number 57904 from amazon. The other is for non-limited slip differentials. Someone else can chime in on the specifics and details between the two systems but the former is what has always been recommended for non-M cars and have always worked great for me.

Thanks!! Btw what x5 model do you have?

A good read here in general but see page 21-23 on more details about differential fluids and the difference between limited slip vs non-limited slip versions.
