Same thing happened to me in 2007. Goin' strong for 2 years now.

Same exact problem I have. There is a hole in my strut and over an hour or so the car will let the air completely out.

I have the same exact problem as of 3/15/2009
I was told by the dealer that my air suspension module was faulty. I foound used one for 395.
Anyone replace their module?

Im dealing with this now. First is happened on Saturday morning, and now this mornign it is slammed again. Lovely.

One dumb question that I have though, my tire pressure light has been coming on intermitently for the past few weeks and everytime i check the pressure, it's fine. ANy chance they are related?

Same issue with the low presure light on my 4.8is when the front drive side suppension sagged during driving. Going back to the dealer this week for the third times. The dealer already replaced the air suppension module. Might have the same problem as cue03 with the shocks.

I hope you get it resolved. I am curious to see if your issue is the same as what I had.

My car is going into the shop tomorrow night, so that it can sit overnight and they can observe it sinking down. I will say that on the phone, my service advisor told me that they just fixed another X5 with the same issues, and that it was all do to some type of hole in a strut.

We shall see!

well that is the down side of owning a 4.8, with my 4.4i the only air suspension issues id have to deal with are the back wheels.... =P

Full front/rear air suspension was an option on the 4.4i.

I had the same problem... after doing my research, I ended up this both front struts chandged and a control module... Now car runs smooth and suspencion works fine with no virtual roll.
