Hmm, that IS very early. Hopefully an exception. It's a shame that BMW isn't investigating this deeper. Too busy trying to appeal to the new huge China market?

My original transfer case is at almost 90k miles, without clutch issues. Once I open it, I will evaluate the clutches.
I would have loved to find out why that failed so quickly on yours, however.
