E46 Differential

   Hello folk! I was wondering if anyone has replaced the oil seal on the diff where the main driveshaft enters? I have noticed some oil around here on my car and have been told that it is NOT uncommon for this seal to fail. It is more of a sweat than a leak at the moment but needs replacing never the less. BMW apparently now supply a slightly modified seal in replacement (�17 ish). I am planning to repair this myself, it does look easy, but was just interested in anyone's opinion/experience.Any info would be great. Thanks.
