Well it may be to soon to speak but it appears my 122k well maintained auto trans on the 325xi died on the way to work this morning. One second I'm driving along fine and the next it felt like somebody had popped it into neutral. Aside from being a stupid expenditure this has gotten me not so excited about the thought of an x5 which as everyone says is less relaible.

That's exactly what happened when the splines on my front driveshaft gave out at 136,000 miles. Front driveshaft from BMW $900. Used transfer case with 76,000 miles on it $1680. Labor to "freshen up" the transfer case and perform installation $1620. Mine happened in August of 2009. Since then, you can get rebuilt transfer cases for $1000 with a warranty, and I believe there are sources for driveshafts that have a longer spline length for better engagement in the transfer case. Good luck!
