    Hello Luis, Does removing the fuse harm anything in the long run?

    • @lsantosbmw
      @lsantosbmw  7 дней назад +1

      @edgaraguero1824 crap. Sorry. Just saw this now. The quick answer is no. The awd is basically disengaged already in the transfer case until the actuator engages when it senses acceleration or wheel slip. That's why that little plastic gear wears out. I'm eventually going to fix the actuator and have xdrive back on, I just love having the rwd at the moment. It's the same chassis as the e46, so it's basically a lifted 99-05 3 series. And mine is manual so I'm enjoying sliding it, doing burnouts and just having fun

      @edgaraguero1824 and it's sooooo simple. Just be careful, no stability or traction control, so your abs, 4x4, and traction lights will probably turn on. It will feel much faster also

    Hi, did making it rwd improve fuel economy?

    • @lsantosbmw
      @lsantosbmw  День назад +1

      @johnherbert5919 yes actually, when I'm not driving it hard. I noticed I've been driving it a little too enthusiastically here and there. Love to down shift and floor it, try to do burn outs and power slides when I'm on dirt or pavement, it's just so freaking fun. But even though I don't have exact mph numbers off the top of my head, I know when I go on longer highway trips (4-6 hours round trip) that o have to fill up a lot less.

      Just make sure you know you stability control will turn off which will also show your ABS and traction control lights

    I need to test that, i have a big issue with my X3 2007. When i brake or loose speed, decelerate, i have a big noise like metalic from behind to the middle the car. The sensation is like beg a hammer on a metalic surface. Do you have ever faced that kind of problem ? Thanks for helping me !

      @lsantosbmw  6 месяцев назад +1

      No, my clunking while driving I suspected was the center support bearing. My 92 525i and 92 325i felt the same way and needed a new flex disc (guibo). But the X3's driveshaft was practically new. The shaking, movement, and clunk noise were coming from the front transfer case

      @pointedspider if it's not the transfer case it could be the flex disc as I originally expected on mine, or the driveshaft. The fuse just deactivates the the transfer case from engaging
