I had a 2003 as well. Those models of X5 did not have X-drive. There is a BMW fluid for them (not the very expensive x-drive fluid). There have been many recommendations to use Dex III in those transfer cases. If you are concerned, you could buy the OE fluid, but I believe that it is simply Dexron III. That is what I would have used in my vehicle if I had kept it long enough to need a fluid change in the transfer case.
