x-drive. Takes BMW unicorn juice only. ECS tuning sells it. 1-liter is enough.

5 year update!

Almost exactly five years and 80,000 miles later I have had no trouble with my Xdrive transfer case since I wrote the original DIY. I never bothered to reset the adaptation values so I think I've proved you can safely skip that step if you prefer. I now have 170,000 miles on my 2004 E53 X5 3.0 and it is still going strong. I just ordered one liter of Xdrive fluid and I will be doing my second fluid change within a couple of weeks. I will take a shot of the old fluid again and post for all to see.

Awesome update!
We have the same year/model/color
But I only have 90k+ miles.

A bit dirty X5 - On the road now going back to Windy City ( visited Mt Rushmore & Crazy horse with the family)

Second fluid change

I changed my Xdrive fluid for the second time at 180k miles tonight. I had planned to do it every 50k or so but never found the time. I was surprised to see the fluid in better shape this time after the same 90k interval. Still dirty but only about 60% as black as the first change at 90k. I did not reset the adaptation values the first time and had no trouble so I didn't bother with it this time either.

Thanks for the update!
