...In short they couldn't, but they have a "fixed" transfer case, PN 27108643149 with a 5yr warranty for $1041.60.

...That's changed now, I was told the new TC is updated and the part is covered for 5 years, as well as the price being lowered.
This got me checking RealOEM. I can't find the 27107507374-01 TC PN anywhere. RealOEM says your original TC was a 27108643149, and that PN was used on 328dx cars till 7/2015.

LCI 328dx cars have PN 27108643150 for the TC. RealOEM doesn't say this one supersedes the 27108643149, which tells me that the design could be pretty different and not swappable (even though both have the same PNs for the input/output flanges). I wonder what was changed for the LCI TC now...

Looking at the database, BEM-S4's the only LCI car to have a failed TC. I wonder if he's calling the Dinan Sport tuner the "Dinan Stage 1" tune on his car.
