Another air suspension problem

I went with Bilstein HD but if you prefer stock ride there are Bilstein Touring struts and shocks along with Suplex coil springs for OEM ride.

I prefer and kept the OEM ride height but you could go lower if you want.

Getting rid of the inactive SLS light after swap is child's play with $30 P.A Soft scan tool.

No more sensors, air compressor, air bag and air reservoirs and most of all computer glitches to pest the X5.

Why would I throw all that money on it when it's almost fixed? Everything is working properly there's just some software needed I guess. The labor of putting in the new shocks and removing pump and module lines etc would be more than just playing around with the system.

Depends how you look at it. I consider it an upgrade and good investment. With air suspension it's never ending saga. Anyway, good luck.

I think what 540san is saying is that if you intend to keep the vehicle for some time in the future its a worthwhile investment to change out the air strut system for the coils. A lot less head aches in the future. A lot less gremlins to chase.
