HELP!! Problems with my 2003 BMW X5 air suspension

[BMWX5007]

I recently bought a 2003 X5 and the right side air strut collapses down every time i shut off the engine. I think the pump & compressor are working fine; as the suspension levels out once its started.
I have had it looked at by a certified BMW shop and they couldn't find anything obvious (leaks or broken parts). $100 down the drain!
Can anyone tell me why they think this is happening and what the possible fixes are? ,Also what thoughts does anyone have on remanufactured air struts? Thx

Just wanted to share with you guys, I have had problem after problem with this $%^* suspension. After dumping about $3,500 into compressor, struts, module, then another compressor I looked around and found a company that has a kit that you install regular struts/springs. The kit doesn't lower the car like those other spring kits that they sell online. I am no Mechanic by any means but the guy I spoke to "Diego" actually encouraged me to do it my self. It took me most of the day, followed the instructions, but it wasnt that bad and I just have normal tools. This is the absolute best thing I could have ever done. I should have looked online before I threw away all that money at my BMW mechanic. It rides fantastic !!!!!couldnt be happier!!!! I wanted to tell you DONT waste your money on replacing the factory stuff, my guy's name is Diego and his number is 1-877-401-8028. best purchase I could have ever made for my X5.
