26 and 50 ! If you just remove one there will go crazy.....
The odometer will not work and all dash lights will light on... Dont do it for long time i'm not sure if it is bad for the car....

I don't know if this was said or not yet, not going through 27 pages, but if you flash a map with a Cobb AP, and do not pull the key out and immediately start the car, it will be in rwd mode until you cycle the ignition. Let the burnouts commence!

There has to be a way to program the TC actuator to stay disengaged. When my actuator failed i had rear but no traction control or stability or abs. there has to be a way.

Hey Everyone,
I just tested this yesterday and successfully achieved RWD on my 2009 335i xDrive. What I did:
Thats it! YouTube vid of the process. Yes, I know. It is not a 335xi but it is the same fuses and achieves the same outcome. |

I wish!
I do wish this mod could happen safely (for the car)... The way car tech/fuel economy standards are intertwined, I can see a day when the 340 has selectable AWD/RWD, can run on the number of cylinders to meet the load requirements, and has 6 electric/exhaust turbos. Yay future!

This is actually a good point. The reason say a truck 4WD get better mileage when run in 2WD is that at least on mine, the front hubs disengage as well as the transfer case, so almost nothing driving the front wheels is rotating anymore. On our AWD cars, we don't have hubs or a center axle disconnect that disengage, so the axles, CV joints, front diff, front driveshaft and TC all are still turning and causing drag.

Very easy to do this. Learn to code and check this website out. Disable everything minus the "e-diff" unless you have a mechanical LSD. http://www.onelapx1.com/blog/archives/01-2016 Then remove the center drive shaft.
I've been messing around with this for a few weeks and it will in fact behave exactly like a rear wheel drive 335i. The traction control still works when on but you can do burnouts without any fault codes, warning lights, etc. when turned off. The DTC mode will allow you to spin the tires a bit and initiate a powerslide, but will correct it before you get into too much trouble The biggest problem is not having a real LSD and the e diff makes it very unpredictable around corners. Going straight I can roast in 1st at will, and 2nd when the road is wet. |

Removed the front driveshaft again today. Some strange shit is going on.
The car has much more power compared to last year when I removed it. Probably a good 50hp more. Driving aggressively, when the wheels start to spin, I feel the throttle plate completely close when the wheels break loose. I have TC completely off. Should allow for indefinite wheel spin. 4x4! light comes one with abs/brake. codes: Also code 632D is present in most modules. I'm able to wiggle the ass when I dump the clutch in 3rd/power oversteer in 2nd. Anything prolonged and I hit a brick wall. No power. Any ideas? All I wanna do is fry my rears as it's time for new tires

I'd definitely be into this if it's safe for the car.

Tried pulling fuses 26/50 out and my car was completely RWD, although dash was lit up with 4x4 errors and speedometer didn't work, drive for about 45 min hard and no problems. I want to drive RWD in the summer and so far I've read pulling the front shaft is the best solution without codes and able to turn off DTC

Wouldn't just running this little guy to the fuse allow for temporary rwd lols? |
