BMW X5 E70 Rear Suspension Problem Fix

If your rear suspension is down or leaning on a BMW X5 2007-2013 this video may help you fix your car. It is common on BMW X5 2007 to 2013 to have leaky rear suspension airbags. This causes the compressor to work a lot harder this creating higher draw. The higher draw from the compressor wears it out and may potentially blow the fuse as seen in this video. I advise to start with this to diagnose your issue. It is important to watch the whole video, in addition to changing the air suspension compressor you need to remove the fuse for the suspension computer and put it back in so that the car reset the ride height. This is a trick to reset the air compressor computer to raise your BMW X5 E70. Please feel free to ask me questions if you have this issue or any other car issue.
