It goes bad. Normally the fans will stay running and kill battery's.

So the Final Stage Unit is part of the air suspension. There are fans in this system? Also you mentioned TPMS????

Just bought my an 01 4.4 with 120k on it,,, and found this board,,,,,
she runs fine for now, yet it would seem I am at the milage threshold for potential disaster. All in info is appreciated

Mine has 23k on it. I got a lemon,yours is fine if it made it 120k

Full list from day one
1.driver side headlight ( sometimes works )
2.FTM ( TPMS) light still comes on every 2-300 miles.
3. folding mirrors ( goes in and right back out, will not stay folded)
4.Tans stuck in first gear. ( not every time, re-flash software)
5. 4x4 light ( cold weather, lights up every 2-3 weeks. fix restart car)
6. air ride ( still not fixed CPO has about $8500 in it so far)
7. blue tooth ( will not hold info or phone, now completely dead)
8. 3rd battery in 2 years.

More has been done, but they were easier fixes, or were fixed the first visit to BMW.

Problem
5. BMW USA CPO warranty

You can ask all you want, to look at a possible problem. BMW USA will not listen or allow a part to be installed. Only what they recommend.

which could be leading to your air suspension going out as well.

Given the amount of work and money I put into my 01 4.4 the answer is no.

I would either go for an 'is' or the 3.0 preferably manual.
