Oh boy do you mean the rear air suspension or the actual ride height adjustment equipment. Having an '04 with it installed I would say its one hell of a retrofit with the wiring and the pumps/suspension equipment.

Maybe someone on the board has some inside knowledge but just looking at my factory set up I'd say its gonna be a bitch

i might have to go that route, we'll see. i'll just call up my stealership and see how hard they laugh at me :p i wanna buy a newer X5 but its soooo hard to find with that feature on a cpo where i live. i figure i might as well just do a retrofit or just break the bank and buy a brand new X5

I've heard it is kind of hard to find X5's with it too. I got lucky when I found mine - it has it. I really wasn't too familiar with it until I got mine, then people told me that know about them and they said they don't see it that often. Sometimes when I park, I just hit it to lower it for the look............I kind of like it.
