Leak?

Is this the airmatic compressor leaking? I occasionally get the malfunction warning.

I now notice the front suspension is very low to the ground and not lifting up.. I guess it's time for another trip to the dealer.

From bottom of car near front axle. They diagnosed it as leak in engine mount.. Crazy at 1 year/14K miles.

looks like you've got yourself a lemon. I'm not impressed by the build quality of our vehicles. I came from an X5 and noticed right away.

The funny thing is, if you go over to the BMW forums they say the same thing about the X5 and other BMW models. I guess the grass is always greener.

That's the function of these forums - they provide a place to spout off. It proves that they work! No surprises there!!

I own both. The BMW X5 build quality is not a good as the GL550.
