Differential Cover Seal

Hi all:

I went looking on RealOEM for the differential cover seal.
They show the diff cover as being around $300 and that the diff seal itself is discontinued.

So does one have to buy a whole new diff cover just to fix a leaky seal?

No idea why realoem shows it as "ended." It is a valid (and multi-application common) BMW part number. Here's what getBMWparts.com shows for it:

33111211679 $1.94 $0.00 $1.55
Universals & rear axle - Rear axle - Gasket
Gasket, m5 2000 - 2003

So at a local dealer it would appear to be a ~$2.00 part and probably normally stocked.

Does the rear sub-frame need to come down to take out the differential cover and replace the seal? Or can the cover be replaced without any other major disassembly?
