As promised:

I did the conversion and can report back: it works!!

I do not know for how long, but the compressor ring conversion is easy to do, cost minimal compared to a new pump and pumps like a new one.

Thanks to this thread, I finally fixed the very same issue with my 4.8is. It took two weeks for the kit to get here to Manila. Had the fix done yesterday. No suspension error message, so far

Am keeping my fingers crossed!

thanks you guys!

... The air suspension in my 4.8is is the worst POS ever invented. Why the hell did BMW decide to even use air suspension in the first place? I know! to rip people off when the air suspension starts to deteriorate .

Would be so much better if BMW just put a nice quality coilover system on like the kw.
