Thanks. Sorry two other questions:
1) Am I right in thinking there is no gasket available? The 3-series has no gasket listed whereas the 5-series does. Did you use the E60 gasket and/or the Loctite sealer listed?
2) I see from RealOEM that the new diff cover has eight bolts whereas the original had seven. Did this cause any issues e.g. oil leaks?
