Impressive to say the least. Im trying to sort a yet unknown transfer case issue on a 2004 e83 x3. First I need a thorough diagnosis but considering a rebuild. Thanks for the Helpful vids 50skid!

Thanks so much for doing this video. Helped me more than you can imagine.

Very nice and detailed video. Now I can confidently try to do mine. Thank you!

OMG and here I thought I'll just do this myself. WOWZER

50, thank you for all your videos you're very knowledgeable and you explain things very well. Thank you. How much time did it take you to break everything down? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Nice video. Thanks!

Thank you anyways. You are the best. Tonio.

Wow good work man. Now I see why they charge so much lol

thanks for the posted keep coming. I got a stupid question 03 x5 3.0...the front differential took a went. The suv right now won't go forward or reverse. I can feel the front differential is holding it..I can't get the nuts on the drive shaft out...can I cut off the front driveshaft so I can move the car..since the front differential ain't good. Do I need to look at other things in the car that could have went bad cuz of this issue

Hi, I'd like to ask you, does e53 part of drive shaft can be fix to e70, for example the center bearing support?

Can you tell me when the chain goes bad will those make a loud clicking noise? It sounds like it is rite under my seat:/floor board when I give it gas.

wow thats a lot of work for a small mistake, hope it works out for you, len from the uk

Good video. I have checked the tc and the tc is good, but the calibration faulty and code 54c8 resistor class. 4x4, abs and brake is always light on when start (not in contact position). Could you please any advise? Many thanx

My e53 is 3.0 2004 (with actuator motor), the actuator have tested and still rotate (run)

What brand impact driver are you using?

+Dennis Canon I have a Milwaukee 3/8" impact wrench to match my 1/2" one. I got the 1/2" one because it had the most power out of all the ones available, however I love my Makita impact driver more just 'cause. Maybe someday I'll get the 3/8" Makita impact wrench and sell the Milwaukee.

Brooooo can Incorrectly installing front cv axles on these cause the transfer case to lock? Or drive shaft? Casue I just had axles replace and the car was lik stuck in neautral

I push on the gas pedal and the drive shaft exploded

Have you tackled the oil pan gasket on your E46 yet?

Do you ever lose your temper? You always appear calm in your videos, like auto from Bav Auto. If it was turns out to be the rear main seal, then how would you feel?

+clabcon I would put it off for even longer than I put off the oil pan gasket, lol. Sure I get mad, but those parts wind up on the editing floor.

At least you would be able to replace all of your transmission fluid, whilst you were there!

It's been a while

You can remove the transfer case without dropping the exhaust. The flexible aluminum floor cover will come out if you remove the nuts and a couple of exhaust hangers. I done it because it saved me from breaking bolts on my exhaust a couple of them were pretty rough looking and I knew they would strip or break. My vehicle was a 2003 X5 3.0

Yep, couple of ways to do things. I removed it because, being in California, it isn't a problem to do so. Thanks for contributing!

I'm looking at a 2000 bmw x5 4.4l, do you think they will have more issues at @125k miles? the couple selling it doesn't drive it much. I think they're scared of all the horror stories about parts failing on X5 (especially the trans and the transfer case) It seems to be a nice car but researching the reliability of it seems worst than the domestic models (Jeep, Ford)

+Arthur Esclamada I think it's in the same realm as a Jeep or a Ford, but I can't really say for sure. I think most people balk because BMW repair costs are always so inflated because it's considered a luxury car, but the repairs are no more complicated than any other vehicle. If you're concerned about reliability, buy a Honda or Toyota.

my car cold no drive, sliping

Because you ship and love to do the work 2 times

at 21:27 You mean front and rear driveshaft, not axle?

Wear a mask 😷...... If ya had a beam of sunlight u would see particals flying everywhere.... Btw I never seen a exhaust removed so easily at that year..
