Too bad you have to drop the exhaust- the worst part is getting the bolts out of the exhaust manifold, but then again I was doing it on 10-20 year old cars, your X5 might be a lot easier. Soak them with PB Blaster nonetheless.
Sorry, I don't know much about BMW transfer cases and front axles as these don't exist in 3 series! This site has been an invaluable education tool though. It wouldn't hurt while your all up in the transmission area (flex disk is bolted to tranny output shaft) to scope out the mounts for visible signs of degradation. Oil on them is a good indicator too as it will destroy rubber.
