Re: Number plate light problem - Help needed

Yes the BMW scanner software can switch off the bulb check light. Mine used to flash the warning but both bulbs were working fine so I just switched the check light off.

Re: X5 REAR SUSPENSION CONVERSION

I just used one of the eBay kits. It was my level sensors which were faulty so I sold the compressor and air bags on ebay afterwards and that paid for the kit  :D

Re: X5 REAR SUSPENSION CONVERSION

I converted the rear of my x5 to coil springs a few months ago. I removed everything to do with the air suspension and switched off the dash error with the BMW scanner software. The car has been spot on since.
