5HP24 Solenoid Kit 2000-2003, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 5HP24. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2000-2003 BMW X5 4.4i has started banging into gear, flaring between shifts, or dropping into a failsafe gear with the transmission warning on, the electrical control group inside its ZF 5HP24 is one of the first things to look at. This kit is the complete set of eight remanufactured solenoids, listed specifically for the first-generation E53 X5 with the 4.4L V8 and the 5HP24 five-speed automatic, so every solenoid on the valve body can be replaced in one job instead of one at a time.
The 5HP24 is a longitudinal ZF five-speed rated for about 440 Nm of input torque, and in the X5 it sits ahead of the transfer case that feeds the all-wheel-drive system. The transmission control module never pushes a valve by itself. It switches solenoids that move the shift valves, and it modulates pressure-regulating solenoids that decide how hard each clutch is squeezed during a shift. One more solenoid circuit handles converter lockup. The photo shows the mix: four compact switching solenoids with black plugs, one larger regulator with a green connector and its own seal rings, and three regulators with bright aluminum bodies. Heat, worn seats and varnish in the X5's hard-working fluid wear these parts until the module asks for a shift the hydraulics cannot deliver cleanly.
Start with the codes. A generic code reader often only shows a general transmission fault, so use a tool that reads the BMW transmission module and watch commanded gear against actual gear, as explained in our guide to reading transmission live data. Then measure each solenoid circuit through the case connector; our walkthrough on testing solenoids without a factory scan tool covers what an open or shorted coil looks like. If resistance and wiring check out but the X5 still slams shifts, TransGo's work on the 5HP24 points at a worn pressure regulator valve, which is a casting and valve problem better fixed with a replacement 5HP24 valve body.
This set is listed for the BMW X5 4.4L from 2000 through 2003, the years the E53 V8 used the 5HP24. When BMW updated the X5 for 2004, the V8 models moved to the six-speed 6HP26, so a 2004-2006 X5 4.4i or 4.8is needs a different part. Published application lists also show the 2002-2003 X5 4.6is on the 5HP24, but this listing is titled for the 4.4L, so confirm before ordering. The kit carries interchange number 13200B. Check the ZF tag on the side of the case for 5HP24, compare your old solenoids and plug colors with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Other 5HP24 versions, including the 1998-2003 5HP24 solenoid kit, are listed separately.
On the X5 the pan and filter come off first, then the valve body. Note where each solenoid sits and how its harness clip routes before pulling anything, because the switching and regulating units are not interchangeable positions. Fit new O-rings lubricated with clean fluid, tighten the retaining hardware evenly, and look over the internal harness for brittle or chafed insulation while it is exposed. Refill through the side fill plug with ZF LifeguardFluid 5 or the exact fluid on your service label, and set the level hot with the engine running. Afterward, reset the transmission adaptations and drive through every gear so the module relearns; our adaptive relearn guide explains the process. If the fluid came out burnt or full of friction material, the clutches are already worn and a 5HP24 master rebuild kit belongs on the bench with these solenoids.

No. BMW moved the X5 V8 to the six-speed 6HP26 for 2004, so this 5HP24 kit is for 2000-2003 X5 4.4L models only. Check the ZF tag on the case if you are unsure.
Eight remanufactured solenoids, as pictured: switching solenoids and pressure-regulating solenoids, enough to replace every solenoid on the 5HP24 valve body.
You can, but the solenoids on a high-mileage 5HP24 have all seen the same heat and wear. Replacing the full set while the valve body is out avoids a second teardown when the next one fails.
ZF lists LifeguardFluid 5 for its 5HP transmissions. Use that or the fluid named on your vehicle's service label, and check the level hot at the fill plug with the engine running.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive values with a scan tool that supports BMW, then drive through all five gears so the module relearns shift timing with the new solenoids.
