Thanks for the great BMW community.
Replaced mine with the Arnott at 75K miles (8+ years car) a coupe days ago, drove some times and it was no issue at the moment. Final height is about 32 inch with 469M wheel.

Superb write-up. Thanks, this gave me the confidence to give it a go.
I had trouble aligning the new airbags into the top slot. Eventually I realised someone could see the top of the hole from the boot (trunk) and guide me in from above. Doing it by feel wasn't working out for me but with a helper, it took a few seconds. My OEM airbags were both fully deflated by the time the replacement Arnotts arrived from the USA to Australia (which was an exceptional 6 days for US$40). So I just pulled the fuse before the car tried to pump up the rears which saved me that parts of the job. I did have to use ISTA to inflate the new ones, but with hindsight I could have partially lowered the car so the height sensor realised they needed inflating (but not enough to squash the airbags). Not sure if recommendations are allowed but RockAuto shipped them at a good price, low postage, and pre-billed the GST to avoid customs dramas. It's my first time order with them (I'm not affiliated or benefitting from saying this) but they are on my list of browser bookmarks for the future. |
