I laughed at intro. My response was NO because I cant afford a BMW with air suspension,lol
BMW really should be using double bellow bags. Airlift has perfected it and it's super super rare for a bag to leak on its own.
Funny enough my e53 with used junkyard Arnott air in the rear hasn't given me any issues in over 2 years. However, the NEW Shock Masters air struts in the front have already failed once and they warrantied me a second set immediately after installing and have had a slow leak on the replacement set this whole time! Not a big deal if driven at least once a week you wouldnt notice
Great work man!!
