Drivetrain Differential

Guys car went in for a brake fluid change and vehicle check at BMW. All went really well but the only think that was mentioned as an advisory was Drivetrain differential both output seals starting to weep it was only an advisory and was told its very minor but would be worth getting done later in the year, BMW would like £191 all in. Does this sound a decent price? Is it common for this to happen car has only covered 52k

I want to get it done asap but don't want to pay over the odds.

Noticed this in my car when I bought it 2 years ago. Had my local independent look at it who topped up the oil for about £10. They said they rarely go bad but did quote for fixing the seals, can't remember how much but the parts are cheap, I think he said it's about 1 hours labour per side. I checked the oil level last week and it's still right st the top after all this time. Car is just about to hit 200k

ive not had any noise or issues at all so was totally unaware of anything wrong, car is garaged every night and nothing on the ground. The dealership did just say it's an advisory but for me I would rather fix if its not right
