First off, that would only work if you have 4 wheel air suspension.

Secondly, there are 4 ride height sensors on a vehicle with full air ride, two in the rear for all air ride vehicles, one in the front just for the self leveling headlights on vehicle with rear air only or two in the front for 4 wheel air.

And third, the sensors aren't made to be adjustable which is why they sell adjustable links for permanent lowering or intrax modules to let it stay at the factory lower setting from the dash switch while driving.

I think he would end up bending the mounting bracket locating tabs out of the way and just crudely rotate and/or bend the sensor holding bracket to "adjust" the ride height. If he were a BMW tech he could lower the vehicle through the GT1 or ISID systems in the dealer if he knows anything about the system. Just ask member twinspoppa as he did this himself with his laptop GT1 on his X5.
