Weasel will become famous soon enough
Under the spare tire there is a black plastic cover that is behind the battery. remove the few phillips screws to pull the cover off and it's down there.

But the module will need to be programmed/encoded, then taken out of "assembly line mode" and have the ride heights set via GT1 after encoding. You may need to either bring it to the dealer or find a good BMW specialty shop that has experience with that kind of work.

I don't see the problem She'll get me into the carpool lane, and I KNOW she can point me to the nearest buffet.

Thanks man you are always on the subject, i always appreciate your input man. Ill look for it, so i have to remove the battery tray then correct? Or there is probably like an access door.
