To MrBMWX5, are those rear shocks for rear air suspension? If they are, would you mind share the part number? Any picture DIY to help on this job? TIA

Excellent! The car has 80K, but some age. If the cost is not too high such as DIY, I like to do it. Thanks again.

I'm replacing shocks on my '01 4.4 sports package with rear air suspension. According to Bilstein, they do not make shocks that fit the rear air suspension X5. The part # F4-BE5-A744-HO shows up on their website as 'not for self-leveling suspension', and this was confirmed by a phone call to Bilstein.
What gives, has anyone put Bilsteins on the rear axle of a X5 with rear air suspension?
