Why flush? I just change it more often xD I guess if you really want to rinse out the diff casing, just pour in new diff oil, drive around to warm it up and rinse out whatever is in there, and drain it basically immediately. Personally i dont really see a need for that though =/ Good Luck!

I would argue that without taking the diff back plate off you will never get all the fluid out anyway (as BMW in thier wisdom omitted a drain plug)..!
