Selflevel susp inactive?
I've made 2 more trips afterwards, so it doesn't look like it'll come back on. Should I worry? There was another thread about this, but i didn't have a rough ride or any other lights go off (maybe it'll be different in the AM). I guess others have had this too, but is there a fix?

I had the same thing happen. Took it in and it was a faulty sensor...replaced under warranty. No big deal.

Well, no more warranty for me. Anyone know how much this may run?

Faulty sensor fix
Guess I found why the issue is so common. Honestly, not wise from BMW engineers on that one .
I had the same SELFLEVEL SUSP INAC. message on my X5 4.4i '05. I had had my car diagnose by BMW dealer (see post http://www.xoutpost.com/472994-post12.html) and the problem raised is "Ride-level sensor, left faulty". I looked for more information on that sensor and found this: http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/BMW_docs/x5selflevel.pdf Quote:

The electrical connector is a waterproof connector because of it's location (right over the suspension arm) BUT.. the connector has 6 rooms with only 3 actually wired: The result is that the 3 empty holes retain water that gently goes down into the connector...

The part that becomes faulty is the arm gets gunk and stuff in it and it does not move freely anymore and causes the error. I have 2 sitting infront of me right now, i am replacing the right rear because the check engine code informed me that was the one that had the problem.
I have the same connector, but the 3 spare holes in mine have 3 rubber plugs to prevent the water and dirt going in there. When i removed the sensor, the arm doesnt move freely and get stuck in places. Will replace it on friday when the new bracket and screws arrive. I will update the other thread and this one if possible. Quote:

Thought this could only be retreived by DIS @ Dealership

That i could not do on my own.
I had an indy shop run the code from DIS. PS: Thanks for the link, it was very informative. Quote:
