It's part #33117722890

Its a ring seal that goes on the driveshaft side of the axle. You know that ring area that's around the hole on the rear shaft.
BMW direction has you drilling a hole in it and pulling it out somehow with what seems like a slide dent puller.

Thanks for any help

I haven’t done it myself but watched it done using two self tapping screws into the seal. Be careful not to screw them in too far and damage the seating surface. Quite an easy job. I haven’t done mine yet after 110k km.

Thanks...do you know of any video of it being done?

Start at 2 minutes and go to 4 minutes, the part you need to see.
