AIR SUSPENSION IS SAGGING
 
My E 70 rear suspension is sagging in the morning, it comes back to normal level after it started. Just wondering if you guys has experienced on this issue. Good thing is its still under warranty, take it to dealer next week.

Interesting, mine did that once. It was sitting lower in the back one morning. Came up right after I started it, and hasn't happened since. Let us know what your dealer says.

I had the same problem on my E70. It leaked air out overnight, then when i opened the door it would activate the compressor to fill up the airbags. The dealer replaced the leaky airbags under CPO Warranty. Hopefully you still have warranty or CPO, otherwise it's expensive.

I still have extended maintenance coverage. They don't know until find out whats wrong, like you said hopefully it'll cover.

Extended MAINTENANCE?????

Airbags are NOT a maintenance item.. prepare to be shocked.

ok, leg me tell you my experience on this issue, mine was sagging for a while until one day the pump died, a $1800 mistake because i should have fix the rear shock air bags... once fixed it sagged again after a few days, went back to the dealer and wanted another $1000 to fix ($500 for bags and $500 for labor) i was all ready broke with the $1800 so i investigated and you can actually change them yourself...

you can buy the bags from Air Suspension Pros | Find Quality Suspension Lowering & Lift Kits for around $90 each, both are the same part number..

to replace you can simply wait form the vehicle to go all the way down, then lift and remove the tires, do not open the doors as the pump will start and refill the bags and you dont want this to happen... once you remove the tires you simply hand twist and pull out the old bags, remove the pipe that feeds the air, pick up new bag, install the air pipe, place in, twist and lock, you will do the same on the oposite side, re install wheels, lower the car "slowly" as you want to make sure that the installed bags does not come out of place, then start the vehicle and they will fill up and you are done, will take you around one hour and you dont need any other tool that you all ready have on the tool kit that comes with the vehicle.

hope this helps.

IF you have CPO you will be fine...

Today SA told me that they found the airbags are leaking, and replace under warranty. Unfortunately, they have to order them, that is ok for me since it costs me nothing, plus i got a chance to drive the new X1 as a loaner.

jsdpr,

I don't think you were using the right term. There is 'Extended Vehicle Protection' (which most call extended warranty) and there is a 'Maintenance Program Upgrade'. You have CPO so I'm pretty sure that you have not purchased the former.

ard was correct that it would not be covered by the 'Maintenance Program Upgrade'. Hopefully, CPO will cover it.
