Transfer case just imploded on mine as well. 2014 328d @ 64k miles. No engine light, drivetrain malfunction popped up while driving. ISTA+ pulled fault codes for the transmission output sensor not matching the wheel speed.
Car slams into first and drops out of gear anytime the steering wheel is turned or if you let off the gas and coast down. Just took it to the dealer, they put it on a lift and drove it while we were under it, the front driveshaft was spinning, but the rear was not, I guess whatever couples the internals of the transfer case and the rear driveshaft snapped internally. Definitely aggravating at only 64k miles, quote for repair was $5000. Looking into picking up a used one or a rebuilt now. Used makes me a little nervous with the short lifespan of mine, but I haven't seen rebuilds available too many places. |

There is no drain plug. To drain it on the car you would need a vacuum pump through the fill plug hole. The plug is tough to get at while everything is bolted up. It's possible without, but removing the trans mount and lowering the trans a little is the easiest way to get access. Refilling requires a pump as well. Capacity is a little over 1/2 a liter, fill until it comes back out. The service manual says to drive 600 ft and then refill... I did this, but it didnt take any additional fluid so that may be unnecessary

This is the most common failure, which is preventable/fixable before it gets too bad https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1579087 there are plenty of threads, and much better understood now.

Sounds like a simillar problem im chase. My front diff went out and warrnty sent me the wrong ratio front diff. I started having the engine cut the power when id accelerate after 35ish mph. Symptoms seem to be torque induced. Wheel speed sensors are fine. Checked the diff fluid and it was dark and nasty. Im thinking that wrong ratiod diff that was on my car shredded the tcase. Currently getting no codes either. Just a loss of power and the traction control light flashing under heavy throttle. Warranty sent a tcase which will get here shortly. Fingers crossed that fixes my problem.

I don't think I have warranty on my car anymore; https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...51404-9999.pdf
But I have similar issues with this TSB. Is this related? |
