ride height sensors

[colin matthews]

Hi I am new to this forum, I have recently purchased a series 3 320i e46, 2001. Can anybody tell me if this model has ride height sensors , as is very low and the ride is hard , it feels like it is on the bump stops and does not clear road humps, even at snail pace. , thanks.Could anyone shed some light

Morning Colin Welcome to the Forum

Not sure if air suspension was available on your car check on www.realoem.com put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box, your model and options will come up You can also check BMW Vin Decoder same process put the last seven digits of your vin in the search box and it will bring up your build sheet.

My guess would be either broken spring or springs, or most likely some one has fitted a lowering kit or worse cut down what was there.

hi greydog i asked a question about ride height sensors because my car is really low and catching the speed humps, on checking it , i found it had coil over springs that were wound down , so i wound them up , so now has a better ride, thanks for your help ,

Thanks for closing the Post Colin

At least you now know you have adjustable suspension that works
