[E92Gill]

I have a 2008 e92 335xi. Today, while driving I got the 4x4 and DSC error (AWD System Malfunction). I tried to pull up some codes but nothing came up. Tried turning wheel left to right nothing happened.

So, I disconnected the battery for about 15 min. Turned wheel left and right, and the 4x4 light went away. However, I noticed that there was a lot of fluid under the car. Im assuming the transfer case had a bad leak or something, or something broke.

To make it worse, I need to drive 300km to a different city tomorrow. So, I have a few questions regarding my options.

1. If I drive it as is, and the 4x4 light comes back on, does it just send power to the rear wheels and the transfer case won't suffer from any damage?

2. If I pull the 2 fuses that make the car RWD, does that prevent transfer case from having any damage done? In other words, when AWD is disabled (and is it fully disabled?), are any of the parts of the drivetrain still prone to damage?
