I've just finished building my X6 and had the same. I wasn't concerned by it as it was only a very small amount.

Why is that a problem? It'd be a problem if the diff was clamped tight as the bearings are not designed to cope with side load.

Trust me, its okay.

It's no problem as the guys say.

If you really want to shim it then go ahead but don't go too mad
