BMW E70 X5M - Transfer Case, Front & Rear Diff Service - Part 1

I had planned on Transfer Case, Front & Rear Diff service but I saw a lot of leaks and that changed all my plans. So I have cleaned the transfer case, front and rear diff to find the source of the leak. I will probably be removing the transmission to tackle some other leaks that are in between transmission and the motor.

Love this in white! Have you had any issues with your air bag suspension?

[@E70MGarage]

Thank you, so far no issues with rear bags. They were however replaced around 60k mark.

@@E70MGarage I've got a 2011 black x5m similar mileage to you as well. Just wanted to give you a heads up to check your lower turbo coolant lines there's this little plastic v coupling 🙄 where 3 hoses are grouped together that started failing on mine it's hidden right underneath the drivers side intake boot simple 20 dollar fix.

@@johnf3677 thank you! I have done a lot of stuff including the oil return lines and coolant y connection. Got the manifolds ceramic coating, I didn't cover anything on video but did take a gazillion photos tho.

@@E70MGarage Haha nice I had to do a fair bit of maintenance as well, I just wanted to save you the headache if I could. Do you recommend the stage 2 tune? I've been considering it for a while now

@@johnf3677 Mine is custom stage 2 tuned and shoots flames, I'd definitely recommend. I hardly ever drive in M mode though, having the trans in sport is fun enough.
