I agree with nicholascunningham. It’s probably just the system adjusting, but do keep an eye on it. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how to reset the air suspension?
I had to reset mine once. You just need to turn the car on, wait for a minute, and then turn it off and on again. The system recalibrates itself!
Thanks, stewartjohn! I’ll give that a shot if the noises don’t go away. Navigating air suspension can feel complicated, but I’m loving the ride quality. Anyone faced issues with it holding air pressure?

Actually, yes! I had an issue where my rear suspension wasn’t holding air properly. It turned out to be a leak in one of the air lines. A trip to the dealership solved it, but it was a bit pricey.
That’s a bummer, but good that you got it sorted! Does anyone know if these repairs are often covered under warranty?
Usually, yes! As long as you’re within the warranty period and it’s a manufacturing defect. Just keep your maintenance records handy.
Has anyone tried adjusting the ride height manually? I heard it can help with performance and feel. Thinking of giving it a whirl this weekend.
I tried adjusting mine, and it did change the ride quality quite a bit! Just remember to go slowly with the adjustments, so you don’t overdo it.
Interesting! I’d love to hear more about how that felt after you adjusted it, hardinmartha.
It’s definitely more stable after height adjustment, but it can take some trial and error to find the sweet spot. Just be patient!
So, is it worth the extra cost for the air suspension? I’m torn between this and standard suspension for the next purchase.
In my opinion, yes! The comfort level is unparalleled, especially on long trips. But if you’re mainly city driving, standard might suffice.
Great point! It really comes down to personal driving style and needs. Anyone else have thoughts?
Well, I think the air suspension definitely adds a touch of luxury, but it might be overkill for everyday use. Just like having a pet iguana—fun, but do you really need it?

Haha, ojohnson! That’s an interesting comparison. You can’t deny the allure of luxury, but practicality matters too! It’s a tough decision.
I’ve been researching the 2024 BMW iX air suspension and it seems like the upgrade is definitely worthwhile. The technology behind it offers an incredible balance between comfort and handling. Just make sure to consider your driving style!
Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard that the air suspension can be adjusted for different driving conditions. What specific upgrades have you come across?
I’ve seen aftermarket options that enhance the air suspension performance. Companies like Eibach and KW Suspension offer great kits. They can improve responsiveness and comfort, plus they add a sportier feel to the ride. Definitely worth checking out!
Good to know! Has anyone tried any specific brands that they would recommend? I want to avoid any compatibility issues.
I had a BMW with air suspension before, and I found that proper maintenance is key. The adjustments can wear over time, so having a solid maintenance plan is essential for performance and longevity.
