Hey, all.
I have an '04 4.4 that I saved from the PO. Car looks great but was rigged to stay on the road by someone who claimed to me a BMW Master Mechanic. What a joke.
A little background. Bought the car cheap with 142k on it. I knew it needed work, but was unaware of just how much it needed. The PO really did a good job of rigging things in place to make it look/feel solid.I bought this X to tow a trailer every now and then for work, it's a small 5 x 8 enclosed trailer full of carpentry tools, go camping and eventually we plan on towing a small travel trailer. 16 foot or less. The PO pulled the rear self leveling system and put in conventional springs. I don't have anything to compare the ride to but I can't complain. Feels like a bimmer to me.
So here is where I am looking for some input. Would those of you who are a stickler for having the original equipment in the vehicle, like me, take the time and effort to put that system back in? Will it make a significant difference in the ride? Will it affect towing for the better?
I have a donor car available right now that I can get the complete system from.
Thanks for your time and input!
