Got the infamous "SELF-LEVELING SUSP INACTIVE" dash message. Replaced rear airbags + ride height sensors.
Tips- At 130k, the original bags were not in good shape. Even if they didn't leak I would replace. Picture says it all. Arnotts version of the bags are great quality, don't hesitate to use them. The "C" clips that came with the Arnotts bags weren't great. They seemed inferior to the original BMW clips. I re-used the BMW ones. Stabbing the old airbags to release the air was easy. I replaced the ride height sensors too. I wish they came with new connecting arms. The original ones were rusty and didn't move freely. Silicone lube helped a bit. Overall this was a very simple job. |

The sensor arms are about $7/10 at fcpeuro.
I came up to wife's new to us e70 today and the right rear air spring was flat. It airs right up when turned on the car but already have arnott spring ordered. Tight budget just spent a ton on new toolboxes and entire rear suspension kit for my car so I'll do her air springs one at a time but will get the other done before a road trip this summer. Mine are still working at 196k miles! Hers just failed at 76.

I am betting that Andrew now has so many BMW's he's had to label them for inventory purposes.

Nice boxes! Expanding your mobile capabilities? Or just making your life easier? Edit: probably both now that I think about it.
