    Hi Paul

    The X5 3.91 diffs are like Rocking horse stuff to find, hence the silly prices. How ever I did read of someone on another forum who brought 3.15 front and rear diffs for less than the cost of a 3.91 and changed front and rear with no issues

    There are rebuild kits but they do tend to be similar in cost to replacement diffs the benefit is you know the condition of all parts when you have rebuilt it yourself.
