is it a touring? It's throwing a code, mine does this also, I beleive it's a bad sensor. But if yours is deleted, what delete kit did you use.

No, its a 535I 5 speed, thats why i am confused, i thought the Tiurings had the suspension leveling

I'm confused??? My Touring gives me that warning, but I deleted the SLS and haven't got around to sorting out the sensor.

Just a thought as an ex programmer. Perhaps it is an ECU fault or an errant ground or signal on one of the unused pins on the ECU which would have indicated and SLS error for a touring or M5 (even though you don't have the system).

Another idea is that the PO put in a different ECU or chip than stock. My guess is that all stock chips have the whole range of error texts burned into them in a lookup table offset by the error code generated. For some reason your error (if you have one) is producing the wrong text.

This will be a challenge for sure to trace. Anyone got a logic analyzer handy?:D

I wonder if there is a jumper or something that keeps other cars from seeing the message. the switch would have been on the right (pass) side about 1 inch above the hinge point for the rear trailing arm

in any case here is how you get rid of it on an m5 or Touring maybe it will help you.
