For those of you with TC problem...

What was the mileage when the transfer case went bad?

What were the symptoms?

My friend has a 2004 X3 2.5i auto with 165K, well-maintained.

Today the noise is nasty somewhere near the transfer case when driving at 20-30 mph, especially when braking.
Front driveshaft looks good.
Front axles look good.

Where does everyone buy your TC these days?
New is > $2900 at dealer for PN 27103455133!

Can anyone educate me the difference in symptoms of: bad plastic gear vs a kaput transfer case (bad chain, bearing and/or clutch)?
