ocasionally i load the car up, and as with my other bmw's i like to go thru them and replace the normal wear and tear things, and freshen up the ride.

The front - self explanatory, nothing unusual there.
The rear - if I wanted to replace the shocks, what part number are they? Most places carry shocks for either "self-leveling" or "non". Is mine considered self leveling? I've noticed it maintains the height in the rear with load/trailer hooked up, so that would mean yes?
And is there a special procedure to do that? Special draining of the system/refilling with a bmw DIS tool?


Thanks so much in advance

Your 01 X5 is manual?
