MMM dont know bout that. Larger engine......insurance rates here in ontario will be brutal !!!!

This is my first bimmer........got this one in a ballanced deal with wife......i gave up having a motorcycle.....yet still wanted a cool ride......we just had twin girls(9mo old) so wife insisted we have a safe vehicle..........so no bike, father not dead on road....safe ride with decent cargo ...yet still cool.

it's got all air susps.....(though that might be a bad thing)........6cd.......leather...... not much else....usual elec stuff......no sport

it hasn't dropped.....just the error message........getting the codes read friday.........hoping its just a sensor........
if it is something big......i just want to convert to springs...........only problem is budds bmw here in hamilton on.....wont touch the computer.......they said that if i go springs....then several other error lights will always be on......i asked if the computer in an 3.0 with air is different than a 3.0 with springs......budds said no.....they just dont want to change anything in the computer if i put springs in.......also they said that if i did want to go ahead with it....to use all bmw parts........hell with that..... bilstein parts etc are half the price...........

so.....going to see what the damage is friday.....that will determine what i do.......

as for the errors (post conversion) that budds mentioned..... why would they happen..... they mentioned stability etc etc...... is there that much difference between air and spring 2003 x5 3.0i ???? ...........are there differences in other sensors??? if it is just a computer thing........why the hell is the dealer so reluctant to change the computer for me after i convert???? i'm not sure my indy shop is ablt to do this.....is it even possible to do this?????

waiting to hear from another fellow on the forum who has done this......interested in the computer details etc he had to go through.

fingers crossed!!!!
