Thats what you need and BMW is the place to get it. To be honest I would trust anything else in my LSD.

Castrol SAF-XJ is the one to go for. I think that's the one that BMW sell. Opie is also a great source. I think demon tweaks stock it also.

Steer clear of the Comma stuff. I've used it and my slipper creaked all day long until I swapped to the SAF-XJ.
