Anyone know the part number for the VC?? car is in really nice condition with a complete respray. -
Sounds like a fail to me. Sorry to hear man. I go into every Ix purchase expecting the tc to be badLeave a comment:

The car should pull itself with just the front wheels on the ground. Another quick check is to simply jack ONE front wheel up - if it spins freely with no resistance, the VC needs to be double checked with a jack test.Leave a comment:

New IX jack test failed
just bought a 91 IX with 297k miles on from a BMW tech. Has his own shop for 20years..I brought it home and tried the jack test and the front tires didn't pull me. He said he has never heard of this and not to believe everything I read or see on youtube.
I also jacked up the front and the rear wouldn't push me.i jack the entire car up with jack stands and all wheels turn,but fronts turn faster
Also when I had the rear jacked up I turned the drivers side by hand and the passenger wheel didn't do anything
TC was about dry,so I filled up with ATF ,drove it around,got it good and warm,tried jack test again...FAILED!!
Any thoughts.?? Guess I need a new TC or at least a VC ........Looks like I just got the shaft..can't even trust a BMW mechanic
