Previous owner had BMW diagnose it, and the problem goes away after disconnecting the transfer box. Guess BMW dealers will only quote a transfer box replacement, not the fluid change.

I am preparing to try the fluid change. I am curious if people can recommend any shops in the Seattle area. Or else I'll do it myself. As for the tool to recalibrate or reset, which scan tools work for the list members?
Are you pretty OK turning a wrench? The xfer case fluid isn't too bad but you do have to drop the brace. I'm also in Seattle. I'll PM you.
