Hi all
Firstly I want to thank everyone here for all the advise and info..................

I bought my dream car 3 months back and she came with a few issues but still love her .
we are trying to work out our problems and need some info and advise.

THERAPY ...........

She lost her direction (GPS DISC ) : BIG THANKS to Hugo-za for all the help .She found her way.
She don't listen sometimes : ( SPEAKERS ) right side speakers keep going off I took it out tested it and it was working put it back no sound but all other speakers playing .
She don't dance (Self levelling suspension in act): Suspension switch light is on and sit in the middle for the air suspension.
Suspension is level and no airbags leaking checked fuses but all ok . Suspension don't lift up or down.

Please Help ..............

Hi Unlesh,

Congrats on your purchase, the E53 4.8is is probably the best car i've ever owned. About the Self levelling Suspension, get someone to plug the diagnostic machine and give you a read out.

Most of the times it just needs to be reset, I usually get that error message after parking the vehicle for a very long time, so what I do is just start it up twice a week just to charge the battery.

Hope this helps

hi
mine also stand during the week only weekends driving.
did take it in seems like the suspension control unit is the problem not keeping the settings , BMW wants R 11 300-00 for the unit .
Need a second opinion .
