My rear CV boots are starting to leak a little bit so I am going to rebuild them. My question is do you normally just buy new CV's or simply clean them and repack them? Also what tools are needed to removed the axle from the hub?

Just buy a used set in good condition. Buying full rebuilt ones is $$$.$$ where as used ones are like $$.$$. The CV joints on these cars are very well made, and won't fail unless the boots tear and allow dirt in. People are always parting out cars, and this is a item that is typically thrown away because they fail so little.

And since BMW gave you F'all space to upgrade them you have to think about horrible things like universal joints, eeewww.
