IF your diff's fill plug is over torqued... first I would buy a replacement plug from BMW, since there is a seal on it that might be damaged. And then I would use the biggest longest breaker bar - that wil fit under the car. Raise the rear end WAY UP in the air... use some jack stands... then have a go at it with your breaker bar. The longer the better. You can even use a pipe over your ratchet or breaker bar - to get more leverage on the plug.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into getting a new plug asap. I had my LSD installed a couple months ago and I think they over torqued it as they were the last one to touch it. I'm glad it's all sorted now though
