Meaning of options?
 

I searched (all over the web) and could not find a definitive explination on these options my VIN shows.

Some places it says this means 150 limiter, some no limiter.

S840A HOCHGESCHWINDIGKEITSABSTIMMUNG High speed synchronisation

And what does sports package actually change?

P330A SPORTPAKET Sports package

Is this referring to a change in the way the computer controls suspension behavior?

S226A SPORTLICHE FAHRWERKSABSTIMMUNG Sports suspension settings

Thanks

Welcome

Under "how to's" at the top of the page you will find a section on how to determine what options your X5 has. Explains in basic terms what each package has.
I believe the 2 S's are related to the sports package. Haven't found any definitive answer to the S840A question but seems like it is related to an oil cooler.

Thanks!

One of the challenges in helping you is that you list your location as Earth. Well, we figured that part out. But options and option packages are specific to where your vehicle was originally sold. As an example, the cold weather package is different in the US and Canada. Sports packages are different. Basic vehicle consist is different.

If you don't provide location info, then you won't get much help.

I was not trying to offend.

I am and the car was originally sold in Phoenix, Az, U.S.

Arizona??? is roswell in Arizona??? I highly doubt that the person asking these questions is an earthling... I supect, that he is from another planet and he is trying to figure out if he has a speed limit on reaching the MACH18 speed... I think the speed synchronisation is limited only to MACH5... you need an M version if you really want to go home!!!!!


lol... just kidding...

Roswell is in New Mexico.

I have never gone above Mach .5.

I looked through all of the option thread and found all but the high speed sync and these:

These are on both sides in front of the rear doors.

They open.

These are in front of the rear hatch.

they are for the plutonium rods... errr..

i mean, the cloth rods, to hang on your shirts and suits and skirts and blouses... depending on what you wear...

That was my guess. The rods (if still here) are under the floor in back?
