No need for that, when our cars are 10 years old, all our airbags will be empty before startup.

Unfortunately, once leaks start developing everywhere, the compressor will work harder and eventually fail aswell.

The sad part about only having rear axle air suspension is kinda only having the the cons of this technique and few of the benefits.
BMW agreed to it.

Once the air was out, the car was metal on metal and there was no jounce or rebound. Zero suspension travel left. No way we were driving the car at that point... the risk of deforming suspension components is too great.

My guess is the dealer made a mistake when doing the differential work.

I wanted to see if anyone else had issues, but thank you for your insightful comments.
