First offered (I believe) sometime in 2017, but because our cars are soon going into the “classic” catalog, not a lot of BMW techs/parts guys working on/talking about them nowadays

That makes sense. BMW looked at the X5 in December 2015 and that is when we got the "it needs a transfer case, we can do it for $4000" line from them.

Anyway that kit looks well worth the money for the extra parts and cover that does not come with the gear sold on amazon
