I know! Or shirts. Or something.

In the main forum somewhere there's a manual X5 registry thread, so OP, find that and put in your info.

They are incredibly heavy, and hurt like hell when you slam your thunb in one. The doors on my E46 feel like toys in comparison.

So the E46 and E53 use the same DHC? Might explain why the r/h...

Yeah it's pretty oily from what little I can see. I replaced the PS reservoir about two years ago and it did drip some on the alternator.

So the voltage regulator isn't likely to be the issue? A...

I have absolutely no idea; a replacement is not on the list of stuff the prior owner replaced. He got it with 166Kmi in 2019, it's now at 206,001 as of today.

Looks like a put it up in the air...

Thanks y’all! I don’t think I’m gonna bother fixing that leveling sensor.

Got a new front right axle on order… the old one isn’t that old, maybe 30,000 miles on it.
