So I guess since I have a 3.0, 2-axle SLS (S221A) AND Sport Package (S226A) must make my X a very rare one, right?

I was always under the impression that the front air struts are the same part number for all models that have 2 axle SLS? Since if you go on Arnott's website, there is only one replacement front air spring/strut (not to be confused with the complete replacement struts they sells vs. the front air springs that you put on your existing struts), so I figured that whether I had my X, or a 4.8is, replacement air struts are the same for all models with 2-axle SLS.

The really good thing about Arnett's website is...they list the BMW part nbr which helps when you know which BMW part nbr you need.

I don't know the numbers of 3.0 & 4.4 X5s built before 10/2003 that came with both the 2-axle SLS & sport pkg...so I can't attest to the "rarity" that your X may or may not be. :)

But with having both pkgs (S221A & S226A) on your 3.0 pre-10/2003 build date...it does mean that you use the same front air springs as the 4.8is, 4.4, & 3.0 that were built AFTER 10/2003 that have the EHC II option.

It's just the 3.0 & 4.4 (non sport) w/EHC II only (built BEFORE 10/2003) that have the different BMW front air spring part nbrs than all the other models. Their 11 digit BMW part nbrs are:

37 11 6 757 501/502 (left/right)

Can't be that rare! I have the same setup. Does your X have manual climate control, manual passenger seat, headlight washer delete?

Nope, auto climate, power/heated seats, and headlight washers.

Are you sure you have 2-axle SLS and not just regular SLS (rear air bags only)? Your sig shows 2001 3.0, 2-axle SLS was not available until 2002.

If so, I meant the rarity of having 2-axle SLS in accordance with Sport Package (S226A, shadowline window trims), which is more rare especially on non 4.8is models, as it was a standalone option.
