You need a Transfer Case Actuator gear
This is your problem. You can do it yourself. BMW will say its your transfer case and say it needs replaced for thousands. The first link is the gear you'll need changed...and the second link is how to change it yourself.

Here is a good video from Bentley. This became such a known problem that even they had to address it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_S8VP4CVho Also, since she just bought it used, I would drain and refill the transfer case with new oil. Its very specific oil from bmw. I have included a link below. Call around to diff BMW dealers and get the best price. Welcome to bavauto.com | Transfer Case Fluid - 1 Liter Container - Genuine BMW Its as easy as changing your oil, except you don't have to change a filter. There are lots of videos on youtube on how to do it. Took me 15 mins. Where in Ca are you from?

Sorry. I realized I didnt answer your question. You are actually just replacing the gear INSIDE the actuator. BMW would want you to replace the whole actuator for big money. But 99.9% of the time its just the gear inside that's stripped. When you take the gear off, you'll see that it loos like the gear teeth have been melted away in the middle. Its way easier than it looks to replace.
Trust me. You'll be saving thousands of dollars on this simple fix.
