Probably the xDrive proportioning drive motor or it's drive gears have failed. Not terribly unusual for the plastic drive gears to wear out. Part #13: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...32&hg=27&fg=15

That's the same warning set of indication as having a transfer case issue. Some transfer cases are replaced free of charge by dealer as they can be faulty and throw these codes after an accident or major pot hole occurrence. Take it to a dealer and have them check it out.
