I'm thinking about maybe this one:

Love these style much better than the ones that look like factory nav. Looks awesome installed.

I bought this one... looks to be the same, check it out first but it's significantly cheaper:

I will probably replace the entire pump if its bad. Im hoping a relay or fuse is to blame.

Ohhh, Crowwwwz.. .Mooohahahah



Out of the build thread from hell. THIS read will keep you up for a couple hours...

Not going that far. The whole purpose of this X5 is because I don't like the way trucks drive vs the X5. If I go that radical I will be right back where I started driving the truck.

On a side note I did watch all of his videos. Great job he did on it. Just not what I want to do to this one

Well I couldn't stand it any longer and stood out in the rain and checked the fuses.

Im showing 79 and 87 for the air suspension and both are good.

There was water in the passenger side cubby hole down at the bottom (about an inch). Its coming from the insulation on that side of the car but not sure past that point. I have no idea if water is in the spare tire area as I bailed after checking the fuses.

Have you got ISTA?

You can reset the rear air suspension module with it as a starting point?

The only thing I have connected to it is my foxwell nt510 scanner. It says the module isn't there when I select the air suspension.

I will try to pa soft next just because its the simplest one. If that doesn't work I will get into the old school tools.

I cant see any water standing in the spare tire well itself so I guess I am good there.

Next thing would be to pull the dome from under the spare tire and see if I can read power at the compressor itself plug while opening the door. If it does then the pumps bad if it isn't then I will work my way back.

When my pump was in shutdown a little while after my Bag Pipin Andy fix I could bring it back to life with a Creator code reader reset, would work for a few minutes, miles then dead again.

Then I went with the complete cylinder head assembly from Ali a few months ago and have had no problems since and no codes. All 4 bags are good and after a month of inactivity opening my door activates the pump for a slight pump up.

On a positive note I drove it for a bit today. The previous owner kept the tag screws for some reason so I went to napa to get some which they didn't have so I had to order replacaments. Robbed two screws off the wife's E53 till the new screws get here so at least it has a tag now.

Filled it up with super unleaded and we drove around a bit. Drives great other than the rear end bouncing because of the deflated air bags.

I think I came out pretty good for $1000.
