Check and see if Arnott makes a replacement part. They used to offer a lifetime warranty - probably still do, unlike the bmw counterpart. I've had the product on all the AMG's and it's A+ quality stuff.

Amazon sells the bags. There's a diy check it out.

Edit: didn't realize this was for M. Arnott bags are not for F85 they're for F15. The M bags are smaller than F15 hence why it sits lower. Doesn't mean Arnotts won't work. Just may be a bit of a bouncy ride given your pump won't fill the bag with the amount of air it's designed to have in it.

Maverik259 Is this correct? FCP Euro site says the Arnott bag is a direct replacement. I am skeptical since the Arnott site lists the F15 but not F85. Additionally, OE part number 37107850225 lists only the F85 and F86, not the F15/6. I am lowered on KWs if that matters.

Just checked and f85 air spring is different oe part no to f15. I'm surprised as I would have thought the small drop in ride height would have been done via calibration of the level sensors. Learn something everyday!

I wonder if it matters since I am lowered. I actually went ahead and bought OEM and Arnott bags and will see which ones my shops thinks will work better. The Arnott's were less than half of OEM so I think we all know which ones I hope work better (or just as well).

I would be very interested to know, if possible a photo of one and arnott side by side would be awsome. Arnott are good bags, Bilstein do some too at a similar price point to the arnott here in the uk
