A local 4.8is owner who is looking to sell their X5 posted some pictures of the shock tower with cracks around the bolts and some bolts protruding further than others. He stopped by and it’s not clear if the front air springs have been replaced, but the ride is much much looser, obviously out of alignment, and does a strange bounce when stopping.

Lots of stuff to unpack, but primarily wondering if the board has seen any strut tower cracking? I know it’s an issue with tracked e46s and others, but I’ve never seen it on a air suspension x5.
