Hi, thank you for your interest - according to the provided VIN, the same fluid is used in both front and rear differentials on your X6M:
07-51-2-293-972 $21.36/liter
BMW doesn’t show any different fluids per chamber in the parts catalog for rear from what I can tell.
PS: BMW of Buffalo who is a M certified dealer also said same fluid for Front and all Rear!
Thank you,

Not sure where this part # comes in play. I cant find it on Real OEM, TIS and atm don't have access to ISTA.
There is some discussion over in the F87, with BMW putting into one guys rear diff. Didn't read the full thread but it looks like he not happy and is planning on replacing it.

Also for that part #, on ECS they have this "
This is the same synthetic differential oil used by BMW dealerships to service "open" or non LSD differentials. " That is not for a F85/F86 diff.
Mine is a 2017, and for the centre section, and front diff "83222365987" is the correct oil according to TIS, ISTA, RealOEM.
*EDIT*
The oil could be the newer one for the F95/F96 hence why its not in RealOEM, but that would mean its not what these came with from the factory.
