Just purchased our 2024 x5 50e three weeks ago.
29k miles right now.

Just 2 days ago, with the steering wheel at full lock, turning left to make a u turn - i could feed the steering wheel vibrating/ shuddering ever so slightly.

That same day - on the drive home, on the freeway going 70-80mph, I could feel the car drifting left and right.

Is this transfer case fluid needing to be changed? I already purchased bmw scan tool but have yet to purchase the fluid, plug and syringe. Was planning to do it closer to 40-50k miles.

If you still have warranty left I would first take it to the dealer

Take it to the dealer and let them address it under warranty.
