Yea i think imma get the struts also. Im pretty sure my shop gonna charge me around $100-150 per corner or less if i do both corner. The hard thing is to get the code clear which is gonna be another $100 with a shop with autologic

I think i should pull the fuse anyway to prevent damaging the compressor since ill have to drive 3 hours to get home. I didnt think of this before reading your post.

Here is a little update, i have a flat today and the tpms doesnt even turn on. Would it related to the inactived self leveling? I read somewhere on the forum the tpms light and the air suspension control box are related.

Dont mean to Hi-jack as this is somewhat relevant, but its there anyway to code out 'SELF LEVELLING INACT.." in the dash? (I just installed coilovers)

If you have GT1 or NCS I think you can delete the SLS by recoding the VO number. If you don't have these tools I should be able to help you out with this. There are some threads that explain how to do it.

Have a competent BMW Indy do it, unless you're really confident with the right software.
