I was thinking the same thing at first myself -- how could the differential mount have anything to do with ride height?
The differential itself is mounted to the subframe. I found this out the hard way when I was pulling the 3.69 out of my 240D. I pulled the mount, and the damn subframe nearly folded up on my head. The differential mount and differential seem to connect two parts of the subframe together. I am now convinced a bad mount could lead to changing the ride height.
