X5monsterBMW is on a distinguished road
Just changed the lateral sensor !

Well - with the help of the above pics I just changed my Lateral Acceleration Sensor - same part no. as in above pics. Thank you for great pictures !
4x4 warning yellow warning had come on and the usual SLS suspension inactive
I had code 5F08 (Lateral Acceleration Sensor Plausibility)
And as a result
0032 (Can bus coms) on the air suspension - apparently the SLS de-activates when the 'Lateral' module dies.
BMW wanted £380 + VAT for the part (£468)....... no chance of that - so I bought a guaranteed one from e-bay £39
Fitted myself - however I would just like to say, this is horrible job. Never want to go there again
Anyway - 3 hours later the job is done - the moment I plugged up the replacement the code disappeared (4x4 warning went out) & SLS re-activated.
Great result but not much fun!
