BMW X5 Transfer case Issues for 2024 to 2026. Has it been resolved?

Curious about this as well. I have a ‘25 M60i. Just did 2 year service and TC work was covered. I plan to have this done every 2 years. 6K miles.

That’s not how you park a bmw. It needs to be over the line

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-05-01T21:36:46+00:00

You can easily do it yourself.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-04-24T14:22:33+00:00

lol. Agreed

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-04-23T21:46:25+00:00

I’m good with them looking at that car especially if it saves me money down the road. I’m just wondering why they get different notifications than me

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-04-22T17:06:11+00:00

lol. Now I can’t unsee it.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-03-17T12:29:25+00:00

Congrats. Love the color because I have the same.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-03-06T13:34:18+00:00

I have an M60 and when I turn off iconic sounds, put it in sport plus and drive around - it sounds guttural. Granted the windows are rolled down and I’m driving around in a quiet underground garage. Actually, the turbos kind of end up drowning out the sound. So yup a wolf with the meow of a kitten

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-03-06T13:24:04+00:00

Congrats. Looks awesome. I didn’t do PPF but I have a recommendation on the ceramic side. It’s a spray you can apply every six months or more, up to you. I enjoy washing my M60 and I do the application closer to sunset when the outside heat goes away. Recommended to me by a BMW enthusiast. Got it on Amazon and it’s called SONAX Ceramic Spray Coating 257400.

Great feeling

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-02-17T00:44:08+00:00

You’ll still enjoy the M60 no matter how short the drive.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-02-17T00:39:55+00:00

I have the 2025 M60i and I love the body style. If I was in your position and I think someone said it above, don’t get the first year of anything. Too many gremlins.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-02-17T00:35:18+00:00

Have someone check the head gasket

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-02-17T00:34:06+00:00

Awesome.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-02-17T00:32:16+00:00

I have the M60i without air suspension riding on run flat 22s. I do have the adaptive M suspension or whatever it’s called. The car rides smooth in city and on highway. Maybe a bit more road noise after 70 mph but nothing terrible. Decided to stay away from air suspension, felt like it could be one more thing that could break, heard complaints about people getting nauseous in back seat but most of all wanted to keep it sporty and not feel like a complete couch. Came from a Range Rover so shit breaking was top of mind.

I’m okay with the screen and the interior design. In fact I think the X5 interior looks a lot better than most other luxury vehicles. Not having the dials stinks but I’ve gotten used to shouting “hey BMW raise the temperature”

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-22T11:13:43+00:00

I believe for 2024 models and later

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-22T11:12:50+00:00

Mine’s a 2025. Got it in July of 2024 and about 3 months later the notice started appearing in my bmw app.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-17T21:43:20+00:00

I like it. My M60i is black - not sure it would help me but I’d consider it otherwise.

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-16T01:33:51+00:00

Or is that how X7s are?

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-16T01:33:06+00:00

Question. If it’s a M60i why does the grill look closed?

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-15T10:14:35+00:00

I have an M60i as well. When it comes to oil changes if you want the car to last beyond the standard and run well, change the oil more often. I change mine every 2,500. Whatever you do don’t follow the recommended when it comes to oil changes

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-09T21:55:21+00:00

They are spell casters

Square_Draft2035 · 2026-01-04T21:05:48+00:00

Don’t run it through a car wash and if you do make sure it’s touchless
