Big hump inside Spare Tire Well
Hey Guys,
So I'm also thinking of redoing my subwoofer location in my X5 and I was wondering about something I found when taking out my spare tire a while ago. When you take out the spare tire, there is a big black hump covering the battery....What is that?

Thanks,
Dave

If you have the air suspension, it's the air compressor pump. Otherwise, I think it's just a filler.

i think you're gonna need a dealer to help with that to disable the air suspension system (ecu, dsc, etc) all expect it to be there...

Yep, I definitely plan to get the suspension professionally replaced...I only fool around with non-dangerous parts of the vehicle
