It's only a matter of time before this become a problem. I let this go for a few months, and everything was fine until one day (with a load of groceries in the back) it wouldn't pop back up. You CAN drive on the bump stops, but it is a harsh ride and probably effects your handling.
If you want to attempt to be frugal, you can try removing the affected air spring, and putting green tire slime (used for flat tires) in the air spring and see if it seals it. I tried it just for the hell of it as I was waiting for my coil springs to come in, and the X5 never went down again in that 1-2 week period. I'll never know if it would have been a permanent fix or not because I ended up installing the coil springs instead.
