- xDrive Transfer Case JudderSerious
The transfer case wears quickly when owners run mismatched tyres or ignore fluid changes, leading to shunting and 4x4 warnings. It is one of the first things to check on any xDrive E84.
- FRM (Footwell Module) FailureModerate
Low voltage, jump starts, or flat batteries can corrupt the footwell module, causing lighting and window faults that often look worse than they are.
- Water Ingress (Boot)Moderate
Water can enter past rear light seals and tailgate seals, flooding the battery well and creating odd electrical faults or a persistent musty smell.
