Cayenne * Touareg * Q7
$799.99
The most common of rebuilds, these FRONT differentials all share the same part across platforms from 2003-2018. The change to a newer style in 2011 resulted in double roller bearings for the pinon and an overall smaller and weaker design. Regardless, both generations experience a common failure which starts with a whine or “hum” at 30-60mph. Skip changing the wheel bearings, they rarely fail. A full rebuild is required and oil changes with full synthetic 75W-90 every 30k miles is recommended.

BMW X-Drive
$629.99
The second most common of rebuilds, these FRONT differentials share the same internals from 2003-2016 and 2016-2019. In 2019.5, the internals were redesigned with…weaker…components.
Trust The Diffman to rebuild your factory BMW differential to spec with the following parts:
Case fully cleaned & inspected. Spider, pinion and ring gears inspected.
New Timken/Koyo carrier bearings.
New FAG/INA pinion bearings.
Factory ZF or BMW pinion and axle seal.
New output O-Ring.
Pinon torqued to 8”lbs rotational torque.
Case sealed with black RTV.
Fits: X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7. BMW 3, 5 and 7 Series.
2019.5+ differentials are compatible externally but internally the bearings were downsized and down graded. Now using a single roller small pinion bearing and ZWZ Chinese carrier bearings, BMW really made a poor decision. European distributors are currently unable to locate these bearings aftermarket at this time.
PLEASE SEE CUSTOM SERVICES IF YOU HAVE A 2019+ DIFFERENTIAL.
Rear Differentials
Starting at $599.99
The rear differential is responsible for most of the work in powering your car. These rarely fail. More robust bearings and a 50% increase in fluid capacity keeps things well lubed and running cooler.
That said, if you are experiencing a failure in the rear, please reach out. Obtaining parts usually requires a special call to my European distributors and can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks to obtain. Price starts at $599.99 but will likely be higher. No markup on parts here, they are just harder to obtain.
