sockethead is on a distinguished road
So we're at the bank exchanging money and my wife is showing him how the switch for the suspension works and it goes into self leveling suspension inactive... WTF? This thing will not go quietly!
I think the module is bad again because the TPMS light is on too. Luckily we had the module replaced and coded by Kristen's BMW dealership so it will be covered under warranty but Jesus! The guy took it anyway but we had to sign that we would fix it.
Man, I hate to say it but I just want this thing to go away now

They are vindictive little f*ckers. The night before my X5's new owner picked her up, the tail light went out and one of the parking sensors stopped working. The tail light bulb contact just needed to be bent in more, and the parking sensor needed to have some corrosion removed, but I had my bumper off in my driveway at 9pm in the rain. Not fun. I don't think I even looked back when the new owner drove away, lol.

For what it's worth, I learned which parking sensor was bad by listening to which one wasn't clicking when activated, something I learned here on the forum. This really is a great community with a wealth of knowledge, so anyone buying an X5 certainly doesn't need to worry about being on their own with these issues.

Best of luck sockethead!

Is your compressor new or did you buy a repair kit for it? There's a chance the seal could be wornt out on the piston throwing the error. Wonder what the error is in the module

Yea the compressor is new as well as all 4 air bags. after that it worked for like a day before the module went. We drove it like that for a year until we got sick of looking at it. I believe it was you, my friend, that told us if the TPMS light is on too that the module is bad and sure enough it was at that time.

I briefly had a chance to hook up the GT1 to it before the owner took it. It said that the left front and rear leveling sensors were bad.... I don't believe it because we got that last time too and swapping the sensors made no difference. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to run though the diagnostic routine to clear the error as everyone had to get back to their jobs...

Rob,

Congrats on the twins! They're very close to the age that was very fun for me!

Sorry to hear about selling the X. I know how you feel and I also know how well you took care of that beast.

Remember this from Bimmerfest 2012? You and Kristen.

See you at Bimmerfest later this year!

Good luck man we are gonna miss you on here, great price your X is beautiful.

All the LeMans are getting sold, first TwinsPoppa, then relentless1 in South Jersey, and now sockethead in South Jersey.
I will have to say in my case I pretty much didn't have a choice. Keep the X5 or keep the '68 mustang. Divorce sucks! LOL
