if you got to the BMW parts department section on the forum, give your reg or vin number. And they will be able to send you a gasket, your BMW parts man probably didn't feel like helping.
Or have a look on www.realoem.com and find the BMW part number and go to your dealership with that.
If you are retrofitting an LSD, there are 2 sizes of differential, so 2 different gaskets.

How many bolts do you count on the back cover?
6 = small case.
8 = medium case.
