inconsistant ride height
Okay, now I now it's not just in my head. The ride height changes each damned time I park the car. What is up with that? The other day I went down to the car to get something out of the glovebox, when I locked up the car it dropped like an inch for no reason. It looked hella cool but made no sense why. Any ideas?

Thats just the nature of the beast, when she sleeps, she tucks away nice and tight, when she wakes up she raises her head. With my Brabus lowering module it stays in the low mode all the time, but when I open the door it will raise up, if I start it right away it will stay down.

I believe this behaviour is documented in the manual. If you drive around town with the ride height selection not on two lights, after you park the air suspension will drop down after a certain amount of time. I suppose this would be especially apparant if you had actually *raised* the height with the other button like you sometimes need to do to get around in parking garages and such.
