BMW Air Suspension Repair
BMW’s air suspension system offers a uniquely smooth and adaptive ride, but it’s not immune to wear and failure. If you’ve noticed your BMW sitting low, riding harshly, or leaning to one side, your air suspension may need service. At Torrance Motors, we specialize in BMW air suspension repair, including replacement of air struts, air bags, compressors, and ride height sensors.
Symptoms of a Failing Air Suspension:
- One corner of the vehicle sagging overnight
- Loud compressor noises or failure to engage
- Vehicle leaning while driving or parked
- Harsh, bouncy ride
- “Chassis stabilization” or suspension warning lights on the dash
These symptoms can point to issues with the air springs, compressor, or ride height sensors. Prompt diagnosis can prevent additional stress on the system and avoid uneven tire wear or drivability concerns.
Common BMW Models with Air Suspension:
- BMW X5 and X6 (E70, F15, G05)
- 7 Series (E65, F01, G12)
- 5 Series Touring with rear air suspension
- Some M Sport and Adaptive Drive packages
These systems may use a fully air-supported suspension or rear-only air bags paired with front coil springs, depending on trim and model year.
Our Air Suspension Services Include:
- Air Strut Replacement: These struts integrate air springs and dampers, and wear out over time.
- Air Bag Replacement: We replace leaking or torn rear air springs with high-quality OEM or equivalent parts.
- Air Compressor Replacement: A failed or overworked compressor can’t keep the system pressurized and may burn out.
- Ride Height Sensor Replacement: Faulty or corroded sensors send incorrect data to the control module, resulting in incorrect ride height or warning messages.
We begin with a full system scan and physical inspection to identify leaks, faulty valves, or electrical faults. Every job is done with attention to detail and includes a post-repair calibration and road test.
