Reviews of OEM BMW air suspension

Air suspension to cushion those menacing looking 22s if you know your area does not have new roads.

They are costly to maintain like the air suspension.

I own 2. Bought both used at around 45,000 miles. One now has 145,000 and has had two minor repairs in those 8 yrs of ownership (roughly $500 each time). The other is a bit newer, I knew when buying it that the rear air suspension would be soon due for replacement.

BMW 7 series was an absolute nightmare. Air suspension failures multiple times in the first year. Each time required the car to be in shop for 4 weeks for them to order parts under warranty. I’d get it back only for the air suspension to go out on another side. They couldn’t replace all in one go since it was a warranty and needed it to fail before placing a claim and again the 4 week wait for parts…

I have that exact same car. Got it new in 2017. Has 97 K miles. So far it has been amazing. Still drives smooth. It eats miles during road trips. Good blend of sportiness and luxury. Great for winter. I had to change the bags for the air suspension around 78K miles and a control arm that got messed while taking a pothole at high speed with the car loaded while moving from FL to Maryland. I just changed valve covers and spark plugs cause it had a small oil leak around 90K miles and it eats up about a quarter every 5 K miles recently. Apart from those things it has been pretty reliable and only needed regular oil changes and about 3 sets of tires which are not cheap.
