It cost $43 per 1 litre can which is about 50% less than BMW pricing (per volume). Unfortunately, since the differential takes a little over 1 litre to change, you end up with surplus when you order 2 cans. If you team up with a buddy, you could order 3 cans and split the cost. Also since it comes in cans, versus the BMW bottles (with tubes), you have to transfer to an appropriate dispensing bottle.

Mercedes uses the fluid for the C63 and can be bought from a MB dealership for pretty cheap:
