I have a 2007 620i XUV with 830 hours on it. We use it around the farm daily to feed, tow trailers and haul stuff/move people. We rarely use the 4wd option unless we have snow or are in some muddy areas. We don't run it hard at all and it runs like a top and have never had any probs at all with it.
It became stuck in 4wd and would not come out. Tried everything I knew to get it out but no luck. Took to dealer who said when they drained the front diff oil there was some metal grindings in the oil. They said they can pull it and try to fix it which will take 8 hours + parts or replace it with a new one for $1200 plus labor. Not something I would expect on a low hour very gently used machine. Any options here? Anyone know anyone who rebuilds these or sells remanufactured ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
