Took my BMW for diagnostic today

I got a 07 328xi, 2 weeks ago the battery died and I jump start the car with another car since then 4 lights popped up..AWD/4X4/ABS/DTC/BRAKE. So right now AWD is disabled.

I took the car to this local bmw shop and they think of 2 possible causes.

1. Transfer case to be replaced
2. Changing transfer case fluid sometimes can trigger these lights if its not changed on time.

You can view their diagnostic report here http://postimg.org/image/5ejsoey1h/

Someone also mentioned after looking at this report that I could have burned the VTG motor in transfer case and not actually the transfer case itself...

Hope someone can shed light on this for me..

I know this sounds wierd but you probably need a new battery. When did you replace it last?

Was it the new battery that died and made you need a jump start?

Did you leave something on or did the battery die for no reason.

Seems like there could be something wrong with your charging system if a new battery died on you. These cars act weird with low voltage.

OK. I've seen that combo of lights with a low battery. Based on the stored faults referencing undervoltage, battery exhausted, etc. I'm still inclined there is a problem there. Is the battery that died, the one that is in there now or is it the new BMW one?

This diagnostic test was done on a NEW BMW battery that I put in 600 miles ago and the guy told me its registered fine...
