I will do that. It's my local discount tire so not sure of their technic to balance. I will say I have a feeling they hurried through the balance procedure. One of the back tires was filled to 47 psi while the other was filled to 40 psi. Door pillar calls for 44 psi for rears. I'd imagine that fluctuation in psi wouldn't doing the balancing any favors.

That said... I bought some new rubber for the 35d there and will have them put on this coming week after the tires get there. The wife's wheels are scuffed already and it's the kid mobile so I don't mind their lack of care on this car. So long as they balance it properly... which I've never had an issue with them doing. *crosses fingers* |

Just adding some input here. The car has gone through a couple sets of wheel/tire combos under my ownership so I'm having the tcase fluid done with a calibration on Tuesday to rule that out and give it a 'reset'. Will report back to see if symptoms disappear.

This is exactly what I've been looking into as well. Seems as though the TC will "retard" itself with improper or worn tires. I too plan on doing the TC fluid and recalibration. |

I have not yet done the above services, but I did have 4 new tires (Toyo Proxes STIII) put on the F15 last Saturday. Have a couple of hundred miles on it since then and have not had any of the tugging/misfire feeling. Seems these Xdrives are very sensitive to differences in tire wear. Had quite a few miles on the Continentals we took off (40k+). Will update if anything changes. Hoping to get all the fluids changed out and TC adaptations reset this weekend. But so far, pretty happy to not have that annoying behavior anymore. |

Adding my two cents here. Had the tcase service done with the calibration and fresh fluid and upon two days of testing, no tugging or jerking to report. Guys who did the service noted that it was good to recalibrate when I upped wheel sizes and mentioned the tires being worn and so on before swapping to new ones.
Happy to report issues have subsided. Was a problem for me even as low as 36k miles.

#1 Having same issues will look for a shop in maryland to do fluid exchange and recalibration.
#2 But also, has anyone experienced squealing sound when coasting at 1500rpm? Same squeal occurs at stop sign/light with auto start engaged as the engine cuts off. At such low RPM when coasting vs auto start engagement, seems to be associated. This thread confirms TC def is culprit but I wondering if squealing indicates TC needs to be replaced altogether. #3 during heavy rain after driving thru puddles. I have to stop and reverse to resume normal driving as this loud shutter is felt from TC. The power is not being transfered as normal until i drive in reverse for a few feet then back to drive. Is this normal or another indicator of TC malfunction. |

Ahmad that would be great. I was debating on having shop in VA BenzEliteAutomotive use my extended warranty, a bit skeptical on lead time on them getting parts along with using CarChex warranty that i'm paying for. Maryland BMW dealers told me they dont honor Carchex saying they been burnt on payment. So i'm stuck using a shop.

I have the jerking/tugging which seems to be getting worse and glad I found this thread - I was thinking the gearbox was on its way out
I've got a 2016 F15 X5 40e - it happens in both petrol and electric-only mode so I know it wasn't a misfire issue. Has anyone just done the reset via the ISTA computer without doing an oil change? I mean I have a helpful garage that could do the oil change but just wondering if it'll solve the issue instantly with just software reset. Also I'll be changing to Winter tyres (front only) in a couple of months so I guess I'll need to do another reset then. I thought I'd be able to find Fuse 63 and double check it really was the Transfer Case as a few mentioned above, but seems the fuse box is under the carpet, which is pinned down with lots of trim around the doorframe which isn't very helpful or quick! |

Update on my post. My neighbour has ISTA+ so attempted the TC Recalibration alone (no oil change).
Unfortunately the juddering is still there, but I'm pretty sure it's not as bad. I'm wondering how easy it is to get under it and change the TC oil or will I just take it to a garage to sort |

They exist to milk the upper class, which is fine I suppose, as everyone (and company) needs a hustle. Buyers like me need them to do well so we can get amazing vehicles when the depreciation is close to bottom. Dealers certainly don't cater to the average 3rd or 4rth owner. Which is why I never recommend anyone buy a used BMW unless they have a good indy already or are capable of doing the work themselves. At very least the maintenance work. /rant |

OK I think I'm going to give it a go and change the oil myself.
I'm pretty confident mechanically - if I can access the area - like I changed my oil pressure/temperature sensor which took 4 hours a few months ago on my other car. Thanks for that list above! |

Thanks. I found out my warranty is insured by zurich, dealership was pleased to hear. So once i get water pump repaired this week, i'll either give the tc fluid exchange a try or just replace tc.
