Question
Hi. I have an e30 a/t 325i tourer.  Can you please explain how the ride-leveller functions and how come not all aftermarket shocks work with this system.  Thanks!

Answer
Paul,
 Unfortunately we in the United States never received the Touring BMW's (what we would call a "station wagon").  Subsequently we never recieved the ride leveling suspension as well (at least I've NEVER seen it).

 So I will not be of much help with this system, as I have absolutely ZERO experience with it.  
 
Try www.e30tech.com or www.bmwe30.net

 I think there are some guys from Europe on those boards who would know more about it than I.

 Good luck,
 Josh

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
