Ride-height Sensor: Designs

There are always four ride-height sensors fitted on all F01/F02 models.

The ride-height sensors fitted all operate according to the same principle but there are different designs (different part numbers). The reason for the differences are the available space and the starting position (zero position) of the individual ride-height sensors.

Depending on whether or not the vehicle is fitted with Electronic Height Control (EHC), double or single ride-height sensors are fitted on the rear suspension.

On the front suspension, single ride-height sensors are always used.
