If you live close to the Canadian boarder you could just buy it from Canada, or you can use a reshipping service and the BMW Canada online shop.

Good point. Gonna try calling up Vancouver and see if I can get a bottled mailed to me.

At the end of the day, I guess it's a tough problem to solve. It's a high performance part that naturally will only ever be a very small segment of a technician's training, and designing in higher tolerances in the diff for non-spec oils is not a cost effective engineering task. And then lastly, not everyone notices a problem.
It is what it is.
