Ours has been super reliable and a good daily for my wife. At 90k though crap is starting to break though. The air suspension is the latest, and frankly, it needed a full refresh anyway but the struts in particular are really pricy. I don’t know about the later x53 systems, but the rear leveling suspension on my e53 has been really reliable so far. I’m in my third set of airbags at 165k. Not great, but not terrible. The Arnott bags are not too expensive either. I like the fact that I can tweak the height to gnats-ass the lift back to front. When the compression goes though I’ll probably put springs in it, unless I can do an inexpensive rebuild on the compressor. There was a guy in England, or Europe I think who sold a kit…
