Luckily you still had warranty, so these air springs should last for the remaining time you have the vehicle hopefully.

I was originally looking at a 2018 (non-Msport), and was told that it did not have air suspension. I had no idea my car has air suspension (although only in the rear) until I took delivery! |

I'd just go ahead and replace the air shocks if I were you. If you do what I did you run the risk of burning out the compressor, which is probably already starting to work overtime to compensate for your small leak. Doubt replacing the air shocks is covered under powertrain warranty (it's not part of the powertrain), but luckily replacement is easy and the parts aren't too expensive. |

Same Problem
Ive got the same problem. Drove mine from Cali back to Michigan last year without issue and since then its been sitting here dead for a year over inflated on the passenger side and sunk on the drivers side the next day. That and pouring oil from the alternator bracket gasket. I ended up just flying back and leaving it here for another time. Could someone hook me up with ista so I can deflate and get started at least?

Coil spring retrofit?
Hi everybody,
Sorry for the dead thread revival. My 2015 X5 xdrive30d M Sport has also been displaying similar symptoms. Sometimes it will sag over night, and then other times it will remain level for 3 days . Sometimes it will sag on one side, and not the other, and then the opposite side will also sag alternately. This leads me to believe that i have an issue besides leaking bags. From what i understand, the bags have their own circuits, and are only common at the valve block,vent valve and compressor. I am exploring the option of converting to steel coil springs and ditching the air ride completely. I am aware that in the E70 chassis, this was quite common, and i am aware that many of the F15 suspension components are shared with the E70 chassis. I am planning on using E70 springs and spring seats and coding out the self leveling suspension. Has this been done before, and what am i potentially opening myself up to? My vehicle is optioned with VDC, will this make any difference to my intended conversion? (flame suit on BTW) |

Not sure what it costs to do on an X5, I can tell you an Lexus X470 with AHC doing the work yourself you are looking at $1K - $2K+ depending on what you put in to replace it (swapping in LC parts, or doing an aftermarket suspension). I just priced out all the parts for our 2015 X5 Xdrive M sport, and you could replace pump, bags, and sensors for less than $1K.
I wouldn't think it's worth it for a worst case 50K mile wear item like two bags. Just my .02 |
