Transfer Case Actuator Motor Gear Replacement Carbon Fiber # 093509010 for BMW X3 E83 X5 E53 X6 E71 X5 E70

Install was pretty easy except for the c-clip removal/installation, but no fault of this part - it fit perfectly. Time will tell, but it should outlast the car (~240k miles right now). I didn't realize until I got in there that the original gear was only worn on one side and theoretically I could have just rotated 90-180 degrees, but I like the peace of mind of a completely new part.

The motor gear went out on my already second transfer case actuator motor in my 2007 BMW E70 @240K miles. This time I decided just to replace the evil gear and not swap out the entire actuator motor. Drilled little hole in the corner of the upper plate to lever it out, replaced the gear, put everything back together, and the trifecta and reduced power went away. The most annoying part of this entire operation was having to partially drop the exhaust so that the transfer case bracket could be wiggled out of the way enough to get access to the four E10 bolts holding actuator motor. A 3/8 flex head ratchet was perfect for getting the bolts out.

Fixed common issue on my 2007 x3. Recommended!

Easy to install. This is my 2nd one however I do have 160k miles on the X3. I think the stock one went out at 90k. The replacement was supposedly the upgraded graphite composite. I doubt it. This one appears to be mite robust. I guess we’ll need to wait another 60-90k miles;)For this great price and the fact that it is a simple DIY job, who really cares if it needs to be replaced again. That said, some people are going with the bronze gear. I believe that just might be overkill.

Fit perfectly, works perfectly, easy to install, fixed my 2005 bmw x5 3.0 ( had abs , brake and 4x4 light on this fixed it all)

I used this item to fix the transfer case problems in my X3. Had to pull the electronic box apart and replace this gear. Fairly easy to do and you can get directions from youtube. Would have cost upwards of $600 at BMW to have this repaired. Only a few dollars and an hour or two of time to save $600. If you hears sounds or grinding noises from under you car then research the Transfer Case Actuator Motor problem and replace this gear.

Great replacement to the OEM gear that was chewed up. I was glad to find this alternative to having to spend $1K for the whole assembly actuator part. It was neat to find ways to replace only the failed part though multiple internet videos and DIY instructionals. This part has held up over 10K miles later and still going strong. It fixed our 4x4 ABS error the SUV was having. Great replacement at a fair price.

Part fit perfectly. Unfortunately this wasn't my problem.
