How to replace airbag suspensions on a 7 seaters X5 E70?
 

I replaced once on my 5 seater, but now I own a 7 seater....just wondering do I have to remove the third row seats to do the replacement? Any advice?

Thanks:dunno:

by the way they do make conversion kits to make the rears a normal spring setup now if you want to rid yourself of the airbag issues

That's for 5 seaters , I did that before with my other X5, just need some advise with the 7 seaters E70

Thanks

There's no difference. The "7 seater" is just the car that has the third row option.

I know, but my question is do I have to remove the third row seats when replacing the airbags....I did mine 5 seaters is really simple just lift the spare tire compartment door. Thanks

No. I replaced one of my bags in my 3rd row optioned E70. It's all done outside the car. There's no need to do anything inside the car at all.

when I did my old E70 I had problem align the top into the slot...any tips? Had to get my kid to look through the hole to help me align..lol

That's the only tough part, really. Honestly, I didn't know you could spot that from under a seat anyway! It just took some patience and slow rotation to get it to align. Literally took me 15 minutes to do once jacked up.
