Replacing Rear Air Spring - Suspension Component X5 e70

[Kostyan]

guys I am a newb and wanted to confirm the expected behavior.

Air pump turns on every time I start my X5 in the morning, visibly raising the rear by an inch or so. Looks like the bags may be losing some air overnight. Is this a normal/expected behavior?

Temps are dropping to 50's overnight, and wondering if airbags are expected to lose even more air overnight during colder temps

When that startes happening the are going. (At least one of them). Go ahead and replace one or both of them now. When my driver side went I just replaced it, but the passenger side went 6 months later.
It's am easy job and if it completely goes while you're out driving it leads to the most uncomfortable ride. As in, not safe to drive.

Makes perfect sens to me.

Remember that sometimes the thing can leak quicker then others.
Remember that compressor will come on every time it detects car level is off kilter.

Good luck.

You may have a leak in the airbag. I would do the soapy water test to see if you have any visible leaks. I would find out right away and replace the airbag before your compressor goes out, which happened to me because i took forever to replace my airbag suspension.
