Kosmo,
Unfortunately you must be thinking of someone else. I am still fairly new to the E39.

Best of luck,

Cosioboy, I found your post on Diff/seal leak that you posted 3yrs ago very helpful. You mentioned that you replaced the left/right seal w/o dropping the exhaust because you have X-pipes. Do you think I have to drop it because I have the stock system & it takes up more space? Also if its the seal in front of the diff (where drive shaft connects) i imagine the system needs to be dropped?

Separately, i have a 3rd party warranty. Do you think its covered? thanks, Kos
