Replacing the spindle drives
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A faulty spindle drive is to be replaced completely.
On replacement of the spindle drives, terminal 30g should be switched off. Otherwise, a fault entry is generated and the automatic luggage compartment lid actuation will not work.
After replacement of one or both spindle drives, the automatic luggage compartment lid actuation must be initialized. Use the service function 'Initialize automatic luggage compartment lid actuation'.
