FRONT AXLE

I was sent the wrong part
Can anyone tell me exactly what car this part is from?

The part number shows BMW X5. But I think these are used on most X vehicles. I’d need to confirm.

Based on my brief research, these are applicable to virtually all X drive bmw’s from 2017 onwards.
FYI: this is a differential, not an axle.

Why do say you got the wrong part? Pretty hard to miss the difference between axle and differential.

That's the front differential. If you're replacing that part do yourself a favor and change the fluid while it's out of the vehicle.
