I have xDrive on my M235i. Are you using a lift or a creeper? I use a creeper and jack stands and have removed mine and reinstalled it without any issues. I found it best to use my left hand to find the nut and my right hand with the ratchet coming in from a nook to the right of the transfer case (I think). Definitely takes both hands, one to guide and one to turn the ratchet. Once you break the torque you can remove the ratchet or even the extension and just use your fingers. I made sure to tighten it up with the bolt/nut at about the 5 o'clock position to make it easier for the next time. I can swap out the DP in about 1.5 hours.
