2015 BMW X5: Rear EDC shocks have to be replaced; install coilovers instead?

[cfm56d7b]

Our family 2015 BMW X5 has only 33K miles. So we plan to keep it for a while.

But the rear right suspension corner began to sag in the mornings. I suspect the rear right EDC shock could be at fault.

2 rear EDC shocks + labor + taxes will be perhaps around $2K.

Since the front EDC shocks may go as well at some point, I am also considering replacing all EDC shocks with shocks / springs or coilovers and EDC Delete kit.

Any coilovers recommendations? My wife doesn't need high performance suspension; just equal or better than stock M Adaptive suspension in comfort mode.

UPDATE: The dealer just called and told me that the right rear air bag is leaking. The EDC shocks are fine. The recommendation is to replace both rear air bags.

DIY airbags or take to indy, keep the rest stock.

So many airbags failing these days... Looks like the OEM ones just go out with age regardless of mileage lol. But yea, just DIY both of them with Arnott or Bilstein -- no need to pay dealers an arm and a leg for this job.

Sharing the final update. 2 rear air springs were replaced. Each one costs about $500. Plus labor of course.

Go with the Arnott air bags. They are $175 each and from what I have seen, appear to be pretty easy to replace.

At this price, are the rear air springs non OEM?

Can you suggest a link to the part?
