It can take awhile to wear in the new oil. I believe the procedure after changing the oil is 20 tight circles to the right, then 20 to the left. When I had mine changed they didn't do that at the dealer and it took a little while until the noise stopped.

I have the same problem. I brought to BMW Dealer yesterday and went with service manager for test drive. It is normal because of M3 come with LSD.

I'm guessing you experienced this when the car wasn't warmed up yet. I get it when pulling out of my driveway and making the first turn off my street. It is normal, and shouldn't happen when warm, as least not as noticeably. I believe it is just the clutches in the LSD.

Just had my diff oil changed to the higher viscosity one (assuming the technician put the right one in of course).

Well it's not making the graunching noise at this time but early days yet - I need to take it out from cold a few times to be sure this has fixed mine - hopeful but not confident.

The dealer wanted to charge me £100. My fault - I booked it in as "diff oil change" rather than "noisy diff - sort it please". Apparently their documentation did not then support a warranty claim. Anyway, it was all sorted favourably in the end.

my corvette did the same thing as does my M3. the dealer changed the fluid and said it might take 600 miles to "soak" in the clutches. we'll see.

Much of the info is captured above. The service bulletin specifics go something like this:
This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B33 01 02 dated March 2008.

SUBJECT
Grinding Noise from the Differential during Slow Cornering

MODEL
E90, E92 and E93 M3 from start of production

SITUATION
A grinding noise may be heard coming from the differential during slow cornering. This noise is best heard during tight cornering situations; for example, while parallel parking, driving in a tight circle, etc.

CAUSE
When the rear wheel speed differential varies during tight cornering, a slip stick effect is created on the lining and steel discs incorporated in the differential locking clutch, causing the grinding noise. This noise typically goes away as the locking clutch discs in the differential are broken in.
The break-in time varies depending on driving habits; for example, tighter cornering (working the locking clutch) means that it takes less time to break in the locking clutch discs.

CORRECTION
If a customer complaint is verified as described above on the E46 M3; E60 M5; E63 and E64 M6; or on the E90, E92 and E93 M3 vehicles, the differential oil should be replaced with a specially formulated differential oil, BMW part number 83 22 2 282 583.
PROCEDURE
1. Drain the differential oil. Refer to the appropriate model repair instruction in TIS:
Main Group 33 / Subgroup 10 / RA 0011259.
2. Refill the differential with special differential oil as shown in the illustration below.
Differential fill capacity = 1.2 liters (1.3 quarts).
3. Road test the vehicle.
With the vehicle at operating temperature, drive in tight circles (20 circles in each direction), allowing the special oil to coat the locking clutch discs.
The grinding noise will decrease when the locking clutch discs are sufficiently coated. Some slight noises may still be heard after driving in tight circles. Advise the customer that it will be necessary to drive the vehicle up to 600 miles before all noises are eliminated.
Note: Vehicles that have had the differential oil converted to this special oil should continue to use this oil whenever a service requiring the differential oil replacement is indicated.
