Rear Air Suspension Problem

Need your help please. I have been noticing lately that my 2016 X6 M rear suspension bounces pretty badly in the morning for a short time. I paid attention today and noticed that both rear wheels suspensions were sagging. I started the car and watched the car rise to its normal level in less than 30 seconds.

Is some components of the rear air suspension failing or should I not be too worried?

It's not normal. You may be having a slow leak. Time to visit the dealer before warranty runs out.

That’s exactly what I thought. I am just deciding on which river.

And I guess there is no way they can argue that this doesn’t fall under warranty, correct?

Could you still take it to the dealer for this issue to be fixed under warranty if you have springs installed?

Dealers dont generally care if you modify your car in my experience. Unless the issue can be related back to a modification. So even though you may have experienced this with stock springs before switching to aftermarket, they will most likely ask you to switch back to stock to verify that it has nothing to do with modding or deny the claim entirely.

his warranty doesn't run out until 2020 or 50,000 miles.
