Airmatic Suspension Question
Does anyone know if thereis an option within the diagnostic computer to adjust the ride height of airmatic?
Im am not after a "rest of world setting", as I am already in the rest of world!
I want to lower the car arounf 1/2", without resorting to a lowering module, if possible.
I am about to take my car in for its first service. The service guys are pretty cool as I spent alot of time with them on the old E55 playing with fuel and ignition settings and will ask them to have a look. From experience it is easier if you can tell them where to look.

There is a button to raise the car and putting into sports suspension lowers it by 15mm. I am lookin to lower it further, preferrably without using a lowering module as I only want to go down another 1/2".

Mine does NOT lower with the sport button. Yes it raises with the up button. If you find that it does really lower, please let me know.

Guys
On the E55, changing to sport lowers the car by around 1/2 inch. The car will lower to this height when not in sport mode over 85mph automatically.
When I put the car into either sport mode you can see the car lowering. Maybe this only works with the E55??

mine doesn't lower when you select either sport mode sitting still...however i do notice that the car rises after hwy driving at the end of a off ramp everytime. i assumed the car lowers at higher speeds in sport mode.
i'm wondering if the e55 in sport II is lower than the e500 in sport II?
