as above my last x5 was like this so i stuck with it and after a few £££ it was perfect, they are lovely cars and if you sell it you will do what i did.....look at everything going from sports cars to 4x4s and end up with the same car different colour combos and 5 year newer!! my self level sensor on my other x5 went in the cold i think the small plastic arm snapped after freezing, the car looked/drove perfect but said "self level sus inact" on dash display, if it is a sensor its cheap and easy to fit and a fault code reader will pick it up instantly!

Update

Well it turned out to be a small crack in the sensor, as I have to drive to Devon tomorrow for Xmas, they didn't have time to order a new one so I have to take it in when I get back. They said it would be safe to drive. Hopefully keys will work again after a good run and charge.

Thanks again
