Which replacement suspension Airbags to buy

Frouss · 12-19-2018, 08:54 AM

I am purchasing two new rear suspension air bags for my 07 X5, and I am seeing a lot of different brands / prices. What brand do you guys recommend? I’m sure OEM is the best, but not on your wallet.

Not personal experience, but I'm aware that Arnott get positive reviews as a quality product at sensible prices, by BMW 5-series users (F11, F07) who have fitted them as replacements.

I just installed Arnott in my wife's 2011 X5 35D Sport. The first one took about 30 minutes and the second took 5. Super easy fix to a sagging car after it was sitting for a couple days. I got them from amazon for $285USD shipped(for the pair).

Yep, the consensus here is for the Arnott brand with good reason (great price & great quality). That's USD by the way. Cheaper for you!

When i took the car to the shop to replace one, they tried the Arnott and they struggled to get the vehicle level, they tried 2 units and kept the car for 4 days, they finally gave up and put in an OEM and it worked just fine.

I have heard alot of good things about Arnott, and perhaps my issue was isolated.

2.5 years and 35k miles on my Arnott's. Zero issues.
