Thanks for that killcrap. Good assumption that I haven't used the special xdrive fluid myself. My X3 has 40,000 km/25,000 miles, so I haven't felt the need to change the transfer case fluid yet.
So it appears that while the parts book shows the transfer case has the same part number through those years, the factory used two different fluids and your recommendation is to refill with the same fluid as comes out of it. Seems logical. I would have thought that a tag on the transfer case (similar to a transmission fluid tag) or a serial number lookup at the dealer would have identified the correct fluid, but perhaps that is too optimistic. There was apparently a BMW SIB in 2007 (I don't have a copy) that advised dealers to drain and replace the fluid to the new long life fluid specification. I would have understood that to mean replacing the Dexron III fluid.

Just leave the drain plug open for awhile and let it drain completely.
