As my penance, I flipped through parts diagrams for different months on realoem, and they show some cars as early as 02/2003 with the xDrive transfer case. So, some 2003 might have it, later in the year is more of a sure thing. 01/2003 and earlier (according to realOEM diagrams), will not have the xDrive transfer case.
Your looking at production dates, some 2004 (facelift) model year E53s were produced in early 2003. Many are "first drive" vehicles for the automotive press.
