As the driver of a BMW X3, You may be curious about how the 4x4 option can be turned off in Your vehicle. Having 4x4 means that Your vehicle iS4 wheel drive. This refers to a vehicle with only two axles being enabled to send torque to all four wheels at once. In the case of the BMW X3, this option is full time, not by demand. This means that You cannot turn the 4wd in Your car off.

That is what I thought ! Just press hard DTC button on dashboard and 4x4 disengages (shows it on your dashboard screen ) !

3 options: 1. Disconnect Transfer motor plug 2. Remove fuse 26 (depends on year) 3. Unplug connection behind battery in boot
