Self leveling suspension

Recommended Posts

Question, how do I tell if mine has it?

Reason I ask is that I'm heading up to Tauranga early next year to bring back a rather heavy boat back to Dunedin. The self leveling suspension is handy (as in my first 4.4i X5) for towing because it sorted out the tounge load and didn't give you that ass down, heads up feeling when travelling on the open road with a heavy load.

Cheers.

no . normally 520i tourings dont have self leveling .

only 525i 530i 540i models.

but easy enough to check stick your head under the back of the car and look for lots of hydrolic lines going around and leaking etc :P

your lucky you dont have it though ,more than $1500 per shock and about $800 per accumliator etc

ABS don't have lines as such Andy, just wires and sensors in the wheel hub, the abs unit is in the engine bay and controls the brakes from there.

Generally the rear shocks will be quite large with self leveling.

Another test is to get everyone to sit in the boot while the car is running. Haha.
