How can I turn off the air suspension on a BMW X5?
My friend and I are having a bit of a debate—we’re both BMW lovers, and I’ve always heard that to turn the air suspension off, you should hold the suspension level switch for exactly seven seconds. However, my friend thinks that as long as it’s more than five and less than 10, it’s all good. Who’s right here? How should you turn off the air suspension on a BMW X5?

Great question—and it’s always nice to see a healthy debate between friends! To turn off the air suspension on a BMW X5, you should start by turning off the engine before you do anything else. Here’s what to do next:
- Keep the ignition on.
- Hold the suspension level switch down for exactly seven seconds. Although slightly less or more may work, BMWs can be very sensitive, and seven is the magic number—congratulations on your debate victory!
- Check if the air suspension is off by looking for the green dashed line on the dashboard. If it’s not there, you’ve successfully turned it off!
