Hi bud I have the same issue on a bmw 730d G11. I have replaced the left front leaking air spring. I can not the car level and on the correct ride height. Using ISTA, i have tried callibration, etc. Currently, the right side of the car is way higher than the left side. Do you have any tips or ideas ?
Once you inflate the air springs with ISTA it doesn’t have to be perfect. Just erase the codes. Take it out of service mode and test drive it. Within 2-5 miles the ride height will adjust. It usually adjusts in the first two miles for me. I think that’s 4-8km.
I have a 2016 740i G11 after getting chassis function restriction car squatted on all 4 wheels but was drivable. i checked fuses per the manual and changed the relay and compressor. When the car is powered by opening the door or starting the car I hear clicking form the compressor. 3 months ago had both front air struts changed at a independent shop. Can you give me some advice as of now car is almost sitting on the garage floor. Any advice I appreciate in advance thanks.
@@friendlymechanic9778 I ordered a new compressor from the same place you ordered your air strut from. UPDATE!!! I tested all connections in the trunk related to the compressor with a multimeter starting with the relay. I found that on the distribution block by the trunk battery I was getting a reading of at least 11.8v on all fuses except one. So I replaced the distribution block/pyro fuse. Started the car and after 10 mins It aired up in like 1-2 min. That was a week ago. So far so good. Anyone who would like to see I watched this video czcams.com/video/V01dIEHsR-0/video.html
Rats in the works ugh, I did see my friend go to change his air filter and inside was no filter just chewed up mess and 5 baby rats, eyes still closed, Can anything be done on a bmw that doesn't require taking the car apart lol, props to you!!
did the car throw chassis stabilization? if not what code it threw?
Everything right beside last step. Don’t require to removed those arm at the end. You just need heavy pry bar to push whole carrier down
Yeah I did try that but I couldn’t hold the pry bar down and push the bolt in at the same time. Thank you for the tip! 👍🏼
@@friendlymechanic9778 yeah, in this case batter to have assistance close by. Good job!

What kind of compressor did you install? Was it OEM? used or new?

How’s the new shock holding up ?
Still good no issues.
Wow X5 E70 air bag replacement is much easier.

I was going to say put air the tires but then I remembered some Alpinas have a cover with a lock 😂
lol@@friendlymechanic9778
I would’ve hung up the phone as soon as I heard the price. 😳
Was not expecting that price either. The eBay part came in clutch!
the out of control mark up is just out of hand.
I agree, hopefully prices become reasonable again.
