So I went up to my local dealership :-/ today and talked to the head BMW tech about this....he let me sit down and read the bullitens from BMW and he also told me that since the warning came on initially WHILE I was driving and not after I first started it it usually indicates that there is a problem, whereas if it would have came on immediately upon starting it could possibly need recoding to wait a certain amount of time after the car is started to run the "self-Check" ........this sounded confusing to me.....but all in all I think it makes sense right?

PS I ordered 2 new height sensors for it while I was there at the cost of 85 bucks a piece figured it couldnt hurt to change em out for that price

My dealer is trying to solve my most recent self level susp inactive message. First time they reset it, second time replaced the module, and now still looking for the problem. It most recently appeared during a camping trip but NOT while I was towing my camper, but when I went to a powerwash and manually raised the suspension to wash of some clay/mud from a dirt road adventure. When I hooked up the camper for the drive home, I swear that the rear sus raised and leveled even though the warning message remained lit. Wish I could solve this problem, as the X5 is really turning out to be a great tow vehicle otherwise.:(

Im interested in mod 4, would you post a DIY of installing the JVC NX7000,
I have an 01 3.0i DSP stereo no navigation, Ive heard I need 4 crossovers to be able to hear all the speakers in the doors, I was told I can power the two windshield tweeters directly from the unit and with an ALPINE PDX5 I can save my BMW subwoofer and connect it
Any thoughts???
Thanks for posting
