Self leveling suspension

[wonkabx4.8]

I'm new to this forum and new to the BMW world. I purchased about 3 weeks ago a 2004 4.8is. The car is immaculate and has 105k. I recently changed the valve seals and rear upper control arms. This morning I woke up and the truck is leaning on the passengers side. When I turn it on it did not raise itself and I had to click the button and then it leveled itself out. I went to my BMW mechanic and he said the bag has a leak.

any advice. The mechanic is charging 998.43 for each air bag and strut. I find that be very expensive. Any recommendations. I've read arnott is a good replacement.

Should I do all four or just the two front since it's only the passenger side that's leaning

Was it leaning at one corner or where both front and rear low?

The front are air struts they will charge You for the core and reinburst You once You send the old ones back ,but they do have a life time warranty , if You have the money sure...........if You don't have to do it later.
