No, no, no! This is a very common problem on 2001-2004 E53. The front driveshaft splines where they go into the transfer case are not inserted very far and I think there must have been a hardening issue. This is so common, there are numerous suppliers of a replacement spline that is 1" longer. This is why I cut off the factory one, and the new one(on it's way) will slide in the shaft, and I will weld it together. As I posted, no warning, no noise, went to leave a stop and loud bang, no movement, lot's of whirring noise. Lot's of people think they blow their transfer case. Just the splines stripping. Beware!!!
And yes, this is on my latest 03 4.6. They are all the same.
