#577 of 598 2005 X5 Independent Ventilation by westindian Sep 02, 2009 (7:44 am)
Hi everyone, Yesterday my 2005 X5 independent ventilation started on its own( when the suv is parked, keys out ignition) and now I can't get it to stop. I have followed the manual's instruction on putting key to position 1 and then pressing the left side of the BC button and I see that "Vent On" is showing. When I press it to "Vent Off" the BC light lights up momentarily and it reverts back to "vent on" and I can't keep it in the "vent off" setting. Any ideas? should I reset the OBC and if so, how? I have pulled the fuse to the blower in the meantime to stop my battery from going dead.

Does anyone know how to adjust the angle of the headlamps on a BMW x5? Replies to this message: kris2 (Sep 16, 2009 11:52 am)
#579 of 598 BMW X5 Battery Replacement by jford63366 Sep 09, 2009 (8:03 am)
We have a 2003 BMW X5 which has been somewhat of a great car, but is no longer under warranty. I am hearing horror stories about the cost of replacing the car's battery. Can anyone shed some light on the cost of battery replacement and the location/access available to the battery? Replies to this message: lion2000 (Sep 09, 2009 8:57 am)

#581 of 598 X5 Self-Leveling Suspension Inactive warning by 6degrees Sep 12, 2009 (3:40 pm)
I have a 2006 X5. Yesterday, the Self-Leveling Suspension Inactive warning, like this:      SELFLEVEL SUSP. INACT   showed up in the Check Control. After I stopped the engine and restarted it, the message was not on any more. I have not seen it since then.   On the manual (page 95), ask driver to check to see if the rear of the vehicle is visibly lower than the front. For my case, I did not see nor experience anything strange in term of the vehicle level and the driving of the vehicle.   Anybody had such experience with your X5 before? Does this indicate any serious problems to come? Any advice?   I googled the similar cases. I saw many people complained such message,but few really had problem. One guy suggested, check the 30A fuse for the Air Suspension, and just pull it and reinsert it.   I will call BMW service center to ask how to handle later.   Thanks.

Replying to: timo2533 (Aug 14, 2009 5:10 am) I was at the dealership waiting for my X3 and the person next to me was waiting for his X5. He said that he had bought it brand new about two years ago for over $60,000 and he said it was in for service on average once a month.   He was done with BMW.   I am done with BMW.   That makes three of us.
#584 of 598 Re: ABS Break light turn ON, Speedometer stopped [lion2000] by lion2000 Sep 18, 2009 (4:22 pm)
Replying to: lion2000 (Aug 11, 2009 3:09 pm) Follow up on #569, I had the display panel replaced since it is mission pixels. BMW picks up the cost of the panel, I pay for the $400 labor. Engine light still on. Diag test showed DSC module fault. DSC module $1500, labor $300. Problem solved.   Power window, two CV joints, DSC module, instrument panel, all together over $3000. Including two jobs done by a friend, not at dealer. Back in my mind, what is the next? ......

Replying to: lion2000 (Sep 18, 2009 4:22 pm) I guess you have a jinxed vehicle. I have a 2005 X3 which has done 66000 miles in the last 4 years and has never been to the dealers except for routine maintenance. Recently had the 2nd oil service and is running like new. Bought a 2009 X5 diesel 3 months ago and I love it. However the vent fan/blower has stopped working a few days ago and I hope the car doesn't end up like your car.

Replying to: blackeye800 (Sep 19, 2009 9:06 am) I have a 2009 X3 which has already been back to the dealership twice and come back unresolved for its undulating ride and jerky transmission. Lots of strange things going on with this car.   What kind of mileage are you getting?   I see 10 mpg or less in city driving and 14 in everyday driving.
