Hi All New here
I have a 2014 X5 F15 M Sport 2.5d
Im having an issue where the air suspension occasionally goes down when parked, it goes back up when I open a door and the compressor kicks in, sometimes it stays up and sometimes it goes down within 2 minutes of driving off causing all sorts of handling issues. its very intermittent and it can be fine for 1-2 weeks but will then play up for a couple of days, then normal again!! As you can imagine it's driving me bonkers and the local garage (not BMW) can't find a fault. Any ideas?
Airbags are not leaking, no obvious faults, compressor kicks in (although sometimes for a very short time 5-10 seconds, no dash lights on, no stored fault codes.
Any help appreciated!

X5 F15 2014 air suspension issue
in BMW X5 Series Forum
Thanks Greydog
Im of the impression that it is either the valve block, the purge valve or a level sensor, as the suspension doesn't go down every time its parked, so it's probably not leaky air springs or a leak on a pipe. Does anyone know if the compressor/valve block are hot swappable? What I mean is do they need calibrating once removed?
My car has springs on the front so im guessing its just air leveled rear suspension. Unfortunately I've had no choice but to drive it with deflated springs to get it back home, but its not something I do if I can help it.
Where can I find the list of the garages with the Software to diagnose BMW? I don't really want to go main dealer as I've not recently won the lottery 😂 and as you say the air system is easily repaired/replaced and accessible.
I really appreciate the Knowledge
