Angry Self Level Suspension Still Inactive!!!!

Hello again!!! I'm back with some updates and questions. First of all this are the parts the dealer has replaced so far:
EKM
Left front sensor
Left front shock
Unfortunately nothing has worked and after 4 long weeks they have told me that because I have the tv module (and therefore the television option on the main menu) the EKM was corrupted during programing, and so I had to remove the tv module along with the front and rear camera.
They will try to replace the EKM tomorrow for the second time and if it works they will assume it was because of the items I removed and I will have to pay for the new EKM!!!
While at the dealer today though I manage to get a copy of the faults appearing in the DIS report as follows:

LCM - 99 Number-plate light faulty
- License-plate light B6300_00016
INSTRUMENT - BD Electronic braking force distribution
Instrument cluster (IKE High) kom
EHC - 7F Activity plausability, front left- -- - -- - -- - Plausability error - Fault currently present - Frequency counter 1 - with kilometer reading 28300 km - Last atwith battery voltage 1.400000E+01 Volts - Last atwith accumulator pressure 1.012500+01 bar
Ride -level sensors, front B3714_53HSS
EHC - 64 Distortion plausability - -- - -- - -- - Plausability error - Fault currently present - Frequency counter 1 - with kilometer reading 28300 km - Last atwith battery voltage 1.387500E+01 Volts - Last atwith accumulator pressure 1.012500+01 bar
- wrong direction B3714_53EHC

Does anyone have any idea what all this means????? TIA for your helpful responses!!!
-William-

Cool Update!!!

Ok, my X is finally fixed!!! The EHC ( not the EKM as I wrongly stated on my previous posts) was re-replaced and programmed without the tv module or cameras installed and it worked. However I'm still not convinced that this had anything to do with it and although the dealer tried to charge me $900 for the part and labor, I was able to convince them that it could of been that the original EHC module and the first replacement were damaged by the bad sensor and shock that was replaced and that therefore it was a 50-50 chance that it was caused by the tv or the bad parts. It also helped that I showed them a print out of LVR's post. Nonetheless, I do have to thank my service advisor and the manager at BMW of Bayside since they were the ones that made it possible not to pay anything at all and have it covered under warranty!!! Thanks again to all those who posted here as I probably would have ended up $900 poorer or without the X5 since I was already thinking it was a lemon!!!!

Has SelfLevel error come on today. Just curious for those will full air suspension, when the error comes on, does the button to adjust your suspension continue to light up?

Took the X to the dealer because it would occassionally startup in the morning with the front driver side suspension lower than the rest. They indicated some fault codes for power loss caused it.
Now 2 days later, the car is flashing the selflevel error and is riding completely lopsided to the drivers side.

I'm wondering if this another fault, suspension airbag failure or just the ecu failing.

Looks like back to the stealer to troubleshoot.

Got back from the dealer today. Seems the dealer just needed to clear some faults and the unit is back in order. Here's the faults they pulled

EHC - 64 Distortion plausibility error - Fault currently present
DSC5.7 8A No message from ride-level-control control module - DSC passively switched
DSC 5.7 61 Steering angle sensor, identification - DSC actively switched - no ABS control -stop-

Anyone have these issues?

I had this issue a while ago when the light came on and went off after restarting. Then it never came for a long time. Then just recently i left it parked for about a week and half and the light came again then after restarting it is gone again. Also i cheked the suspension by walking around it looks fine.

Only three prossibilities for this error messag:
1 level sensor malfunction;
2 air supply control unit malfunction;
3 leakage in air compressor

Have your car diagnosed by DIS, it tells you what is going wrong.

I disagree, My problem was that i had a blown fuse for interior lights and when i replaced the fuse then the error message went away. You cant always know exactly what the problem is when you dealing with advanced computer system of a vehicle.

Mine said RR sensor, replaced it and reset the code and it came right back and it is still on. Not sure what else to try.
