Air ride problem (may be)

[moeenulhaq]

Is it normal for 2011 X5 to drop 5" down on back wheels on both sides if not driven for 3-4 days? or Houston do i have a problem.

it did however came back to its original position after i started the vehicle.

Same here after a week sitting. It was down about 3 inches. I'm not sure either, but started it up and it was back to normal. My guess is either a very very slow leak or its designed to purge the air from the shocks after a certain time. I haven't let it sit that long again to test it again. Hopefully, someone else can provide some input.

That's not normal. Mine sits for days at a time without sagging.

time to change airbags. Else, you would kill the compressor at some point, from it having to pump air into leaky bags all the time.
