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.

| I have a 2008 X5 with 3.0 litre engine. Built in July 2008 and I bought it November 2008. Just turned 15K miles. When I start in the morning to drive to work (9 miles) or from work to home, the first couple of traffic lights I come to, if I have to stop I of course will. However as I lift my foot from the brake the car will downshift and slightly lunge. The first few times this happened I about soiled myself. Now I anticipate it. After driving a while it won't do it any longer. The dealer tells me they have installed the most up to date programming and that's all they can do. Anyone else have this problem and if you found a solution, what was it? | |

Replying to: tbmfan (Oct 06, 2009 7:49 am) Are you talking about the engine brake? Is the lunging you feel the inertia pulling you forward while the car slows down all by itself? Mine is so strong that when I turn a corner or head for a stop it will sometimes stop the car all by itself. I can also decelerate down moderately steep hills without ever hitting the brake. It is finicky and intermittent. |
