lots of threads on this. try the search button on the top menu screen. Its been discussed. You need to replace a component of the air suspension. Its a huge pain in the ass--and very common problem!

As Naz24 said, its a common problem on 4.8's. Air bag on strut assembly develops slow leaks. Can't be repaired / need to purchase / install new strut assembly. Not sure what BMW charges for this part in UK. I ended up buying rebuilts from Arnott Industries in Florida - much lower cost that BMW parts.

spray soapy water on the strut that keeps going down. if it bubbles then that needs to be replaced.
