I’m sure the smarter folks will weigh in, but it sure sounds like a front diff problem. Some good threads on the board regarding front diff issues and R/R.

Front diff spider gear pinion likely broken and when torque is applied the gear loosens up and mashes on the side of the case and binds the axle shafts.
R+I differential case to determine if damaged.

A couple of us have recently had front diffs out. It’s a serious PITA, but not super technical. More brute force. Axles were the worst part for me.

I should have added; remove axle drain plug and inspect fluid for excess amount of steel particles.

2005 would be xDrive. Do you have any errors on the dash? This is one of the symptoms of failed transfer case actuator. If you give it enough gas at full lock, does the car still move?

Sounds like the general opinion is the transfer case. I'm going to research the R/R this weekend and attack it next weekend, wish me luck! I'll post an update when I figure out what the issue is. Thanks for all the help.

If it proves to be the diff, as others have stated, much more difficult problem and not fun. I think, "easiest" method of attack would be an engine support bar and dropping the sub frame. You can undo the steering rack from the sub frame and hang it. Be sure to replace your engine mounts while you are at it if they haven't been done.
