Replacing differential oil every 25k is probably a bit excessive.
Bmw does list a bunch of approved alternatives in the list below with castrol syntrax being the easiest to obtain
The above oils satisfy the demands required of lifetime oils
Make sure you have the oil pan cause it will drip even taking the fill in bolt out.
Let it drain, make sure its level and when it stopped dripping put the drain bolt back in

This page covers fluid information and recommendations for bmw manual and automatic transmissions, rear differentials, and front differentials on xdrive models.
Did my first diff fluid change at 62k miles.
Used the standard fluid from bmw ( purchased via ecstuning with new plugs ~$160)
I ended up using about 2.6 bottles of fluid

The plugs have an integrated gasket that deforms and can.

Have you checked the fluid levels
