I picked up a 2016 430d x drive the other day. I am trying to diagnose an issue with the car and hope someone can help.

Gearbox, no issues. Engine, no issues. Pulls like a tractor, no sounds or tapping going on. Only 36k on the clock.

Now the issue. At speed of say.....10mph+ turning the wheel causes no issues at all. When you get to say a car park and travelling like 2-3mph, or when reversing into a space, if the steering wheel is turning, it feels like something is juddering/grinding on something that stops the car from moving freely. Its only when the steering wheel is turning however. Driving at 2-3mph forward or backwards is fine.

Could it be the transfer case?

Thanks,
Alex

These werre the same symptoms when my transfer case started going.

Check that the correct tyres are fitted. The rolling circumference MUST be within spec and with a staggered setup it's critical to have the right tyres.
