i am using a "BMW Coding Tool" (i think it is a freeware), to read and change the FSW file. that freeware will NOT code the car, it is only a convinient supplement NCS Expert - just lets you see in plain english the german abbreviations from the file

Yea I just plan on replacing the bags in the front. Is it a real pain to separate it front the strut? I just called them and they won't accept the bags as a core. They need the whole assembly. Kind of a bummer.
I'm just curious, how come you had to replace the compressor at 65K? It burned out that quickly?

I just felt better knowing that the strut assemblies were "remanufactured" to an extent as well and came assembled so that it takes another couple steps out of maybe messing up an install. What happens with the air suspension is once you have leaky bags, if you don't take care of it, the compressor is working overtime to keep things inflated, and eventually "burns out" to where its out of spec and unable to activate ride height control from being overworked. This is how i understand it. When I bought the car, the previous owner lived in Yonkers, NY and had an 06 Imola 4.8is and another car he used for work. My X didnt get driven much. He told me he replaced the module and had it recoded, as well as replaced a couple of the ride height sensors a month before I got it. My guess is that he had a fault and the system wasn't working, so he just troubleshot his own problems. When I bought the car literally 2 days afterwards, I went out to a "slammed" front suspension, which would correct itself after driving. My indy said right away the front air bags were toast and ordered me units and installed from Arnott. The ride height is perfect now and doesnt lose height ever, the rears look to be fine as well. However, when I reset the faults on the air suspension after the fix, I still got a fault for "accumulator filling requested - pressure remains constant" and when I researched on here I found that 95% of the time that is from a compressor that operates, but not in spec enough to be able to raise lower the car, the motor has been overworked. So I'm guessing that the bags from the previous owner were leaking for a while, he just failed to do anything in quite some time to replace them, and in the process, he burned out the compressor. Moral of the story from my research, if you have leaking air bags, fix them ASAP! Or the compressor will go.

Yea. Order yourself the updated drain and fill plugs too. ECStuning had a kit once with both plugs, both washers, and fluid. I'm sure others have it too, but you will need all 3 part numbers. Bolts are same, washers are same part numbers. The new updated bolts have magnets on them.
