transfer case problems...
I called one of my friends, who is a BMW dealer technician, to ask him about transmission problems on the X5 and what he told me was kind of surprising, so I thought I'd share.
He said in his last 4 years at the dealership, he has probably seen 3 transfer case failures for every one transmission problem. Apparently the splines on the front drive shaft yoke do NOT go deep enought into the transfer case collar and they can strip out. This is a big ticket item, and when done at the dealer, costs as much as the transmision relacement.
Doing a quick search on this site, I'm not seeing nearly as much talk about the transfer case as the trans.
Has anyone heard anything about the specifics of this issue? (i.e, how prevalent, which model years, etc?)
