How can I reset the self-leveling suspension in my BMW X5?
I’ve noticed that my suspension has been acting up a little bit recently, but I’m not sure if I should fix it myself or take it into the shop. I’m not the best with car repair, but I don’t want to spend money at an auto repair shop that I don’t need to. What’s the best way to reset the self-leveling suspension in my BMW X5?
