So this is a picture of the air pump on a F01,,,,which is located behind the rear bumper between the 2 exhaust mufflers,,,customer said the chassis malfunction light came on,,,,I checked faults found faults for left rear EHC shock timed control,,,,,,,I was able to activate the air pump,,,,so I knew the fuse,relay,and air pump were all ok,,,,,I checked the left rear EHC shock checked out ok and all connections were good.
So during inspection I noticed someone had been at the rear of car already,,,,so I was checking all the lines for any damages or problems,,,,,do you guys see the problem in the picture,,,take at look at the blue and red air lines,,,,do you see it now.
Here’s the problem,,,,the air line to the left rear EHC shock is pinched,,,,I talked to the customer and the car just came from the body shop from rear end repairs,,,,they took off the rear bumper and rear bumper support bracket for repairs and pinched the air line while putting the car back together,,,,,this as a waste of time for me,,,,no money made,,,,car going back to the body shop.

Hello,
This is not related to the above issue … but you are such a walking BMW WIkipedia …
I swapped wheels on my F01 and I feel like the one front / rear side is inch different in height ?
Is there a way to reset the level of the car ?
Thank you

Yes you can can check and adjust ride height,,,,you can’t move it a lot,,,but you should be able to level the car out and make it look like it is sitting correctly.
