That's awesome, you probably have the highest mileage X5 in the world, or at least close to it...can you post a pic of the instrument panel

It turns out that mine has the opposite problem. The strut extends and stays out. It's done it twice now. The dealer "recalibrates" something, it's good for a couple weeks and then happens again.

Ranger, my X5 has adjustable height suspension. It does this via airbags struts. The dealership wanted to try all these other options via trial and error while I pay for each error.

I finally took the car into a bmw mechanic, they replaced the airbag strut on the passenger side which has a very slow leak. It caused the car to lean to one side over night until I turned the car on, then it tried to level itself when I turned the car on but it never leveled completely. After it was replaced now the car never leans.

Ambrosius - would you happen to know how much the job was? I know they covered it as warranty but I was hoping the price would be on that job order.

Thanks!

How about changing them to coilovers? Or those Schnitzer sport suspensions? I know they cost around $2500 if I'm not mistaken. But if I'm going to spend more than a $1000 to have the air suspension fixed, I think I'll just have to go the alternative route - coilovers or sport suspension.

Any suggestions? I'm open for anything.

Sorry if I cause any confusion.
My old, blind cousin entered a 3 instead of a 2.
So, it should have said 250,986. I sold the car a long time ago, and got a 2005 X.

Hopefully, ill get my new one up there.
