Flashing the correct module that controls the xDrive with a RWD assembly number might just do the same "trick" minus any error lights.

Just a thought, I'm not saying it will work.
I think it's possible, just a matter of who can make it. There must be a way to make some switch to cut the fuse off and turn it back on. Hopefully they don't only make it for the n54/n55 and also for the n52. It really does help in a drap too..you have AWD at launch, hit a switch to make it RWD, and all your power goes to the rear. Soo many times after high speeds I have friends starting to pull because of my AWD (and any AWD) system, it just doesn't pull as hard because the strain of turning 4 wheels. Hopefully it's possible
