2015 BMW 528iX showed no symptoms, until we started getting "Brake system warning- drive moderately" messages popping up. Had it checked by our mechanic, brake pads, etc. were in good shape, but unfortunately the mom-and-pop garage didn't have the scanners for advanced diagnostics. We took the car to the dealer that we bought the car (and the EXTENDED WARRANTY) from. They said that the transfer case had failed, a $5000 fix. $4000 for parts alone. And, our extended warranty expired 29 days ago. In doing a little research on BMW forums, this is a known problem, so SHAME ON BMW for not issuing a TSB or anything on this.
We had no choice other than to bend over, and pay for the repair. This experience really shakes my confidence in BMW, and the dealership we use.
