Removing Adaptive Drive system - including coding. Any guides?

I'm about to embark on the removal of the Adaptive Drive system on my 2008 X5 4.8i.

The car is in excellent condition but there are a lot of leaks in the system, and having a driven a car with the standard sports swaybars I'm unconvinced that the system is worth the trouble. Plus, over time, I think it's just easier to maintain the standard swaybar system.

Given that, I plan on documenting the process along with part numbers and coding tips as well as what's entailed for removing the physical components. Looking at my 2 e70's, the 3.0 without Adaptive Drive has a lot less hoses and wires in the way so I'm excited to clean up the engine compartment as well.

I'm aware that I need to remove the VO $2VA from the vehicle, and I then assume there are some warning settings I need to remove in the individual ECU's to prevent the car from giving me warning lights.

Has anyone done this, that can point me specifically to a guide? I have yet to see one. Specifically, tips on what ECU's I need to remove the VO from, if there are any other related VO's, and which ECU warnings I need to code out.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to creating this guide...
