Hi guys,
I have done a rear spring conversion on my x5 due to the compressor failing on me. All is well except for the susp inactive message, i believe this can be coded out. How is this done or Is there anyone one in cheshire/north west or north mids who could do this for me in exchange for beer tokens.
Cheers
Andy

Took a couple of hours to do. You need to undo the rear arms and also need slim spring compressors too. Its fiddley more than difficult
