Converted to coil springs-Need to delete "self leveling susp" error!!

[rph74]

I just converted my rear air spring suspension to traditional Coil Springs. My local BMW dealership was unable to delete the "Self Leveling Susp. Inactive" error light. They had my X5 this entire week, contacted headquarters for extra help and software, but were still unsuccessful in removing the error.

I spoke with the Master Technician, and he said that headquarters confirmed that this deletion could be done, but he just couldn't figure it out. He felt that I would have better luck with an independent specialist shop, that may even have access to older software. My local BMW independent specialist did not think they could do this modification either.

I am hoping that someone out there has done this same conversion recently, and successfully deleted the error message. Within reason, I'm willing to travel to a shop that is SURE they can get this done. I live in Springfield, MO and travel to the Chicago and Denver area often to see family. A Chicago or Denver area shop would be my best option, but I'm open to other cities.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm running out of options.

Thanks,

Chris
