Driving on the lowest setting

[xRide]

I was wondering if its possible to drive permanently on the lowest setting.

I notice that it goes back to normal driving setting while driving.

is it possible to make the lowest setting the normal driving setting?

I think there is, theres something you have to do like wire in a module or something, i remember seeing it on the forum, try the search

Since you have 4.8iS, you have 2-axle air suspension.
You need to use GT1/DIS or INPA to adjust the ride height. Fooling the computer into lowering the air suspension for you.
There are also "lowering links" that you can buy to do this.

Intrax module is no longer made AFAIK, there was a member selling one recently and he mentioned them no longer available.

The cheaper way to do it is to find someone with GT1/DIS and recalibrate your ride height to be lower, some indy shops who specialize in Bimmers have it, dealers as well but I'm not sure if they are willing to lower the vehicle.

It's well documented on the forums, basically you measure each corner and add however many mm you want to be lower and plug that in the calibration routine, it fools the module into thinking the vehicle is higher than it should be and it lowers it that amount in response.

Coding as well, also the lowering links, pretty simple.
