I know I've posted this elsewhere but I want to share info with the entire F31 community.


Just had my transfer case fail and it is currently at the dealer for a new one. I bought the car last year and have owned it for approx 13 months at 50k miles. I've put on 18k miles in a year as it's my commuter car. I have 18" staggered APEX SM-10 wheels with 245/40/18 tires all-around and within 0.8% ratio compared to previous tires. I also drive around with a cargo carrier daily. Driving style is VERY conservative and never ever had signs/ symptoms of a troublesome transfer case or transmission. I'm very close to ridding this car once I get it back and trade it in for a newer Subaru Crosstrek. I'm not as loyal as I used to be to the brand anymore. I have a garage queen 2010 E60 M5 and the wife drives an E71 X6. Idk, I may change my mind once I sit in the front seat again (lol) but this car has been in a lot the past 3 months for EGR, EGR reprogram and now, transfer case issues. The only silver lining is that I was able to have my SA talk the dealership down from a $4800 fix to about a $4000 fix. I've seen quotes here that have been worse.
