"told" being the operative word.

The problem with the self leveling suspension - Denalio had a good thread on the subject- is that the strut includes the air bladder that achieves the self leveling. When it leaks, the strut needs to be replaced. BMW excludes the strut as a 'wear and tear' item. I've looked at the language and it is pretty tight, as I recall they explicitly list this as a non-covered part.
