Bmw states that it has lifetime fluid in the differential so the fluid was never serviced. The inherent design is flawed as the ball bearings are undersized and the factory fluid 75w-80 degrades very quickly with heat from the engine leading to premature bearing failure and potential catastrophic damage. This is a huge safety issue as failed bearings in the front differential have been known to explode the front differential and destroy the oil pan as well as potentially lock up the front wheels at speed. This is well documented in the owner group forums. BMW needs to own up to their poor design and recall all affected front differentials. Instead, they charge $12,000 to replace the differential with another unit that will also fail in 30-50k miles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
