Self levelling suspension - normal behaviour?

Hi guys,

When I change the suspension height on my X5, it always resets back to normal almost as soon as I drive off.(Even if I keep the speed low)

Is it possible to maintain the "access" ride height for normal driving, or are we forced for it to be at "Normal" when driving?

Does anyone know how this is supposed to work.

Unfortunately the manual isn't very clear on this.

Thanks

access height will only operate under 20mph. While driving above that speed, it will automatically adjust to normal height. Off Road height will adjust to normal height after going faster than 35mph. There is a way to trick the suspension computer to keep it riding at access height not matter how fast you go. I am not exactly sure how to do it. I read a thread here before of a guy that did it.

Yes, you will need the Intrax module:
