Afternoon,
Following a brake fluid change at the dealer, I was sent a nice video showing a rear diff leak. Looks like its 3 seals and a small amount of ""backlash"". Any idea what the cost might be for this type of job? Parts look cheap, labour looks long!

Thanks

Backlash is normal on diffs, leaking diff seals is quite common on M2’s/3/4’s I never had it on both my M2’s in nearly 8 years. Ask them how much as there’s lots of independent specialists that can do them for less.
