Just found out the part number of BMW differential fluid for 2005 530i : 83 22 9 407 768 or Castrol SAF-XO. According to the web site of Circle BMW in New Jersey, this fluid comes in 55 liters in volume !! http://www.circlebmw.com/parts/etk/bmw-fluid-chart.htm.

Owners in USA can buy the equivalent from Amsoil : http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/svg.aspx. I have not tried this oil yet.
