does this look normal?

I have the renntech ELM. It is winter here and i only drive the E55 when the road are perfect, to the car wash and back

it has not been driven in a week but i start it every other day... I cam out into the garage and it looks like it has let all the air out of the bags... if i start it goes completely back to normal. im tucking rim!!

Also... I know there is a dent in my fender! it is the only flaw in the whole car. I see it everytime i go with in 100 feet of the car!

I don't know about the bags but the dent should be very easy job for maybe
$200! But I am not sure on the US prices.

Had that problem on the S600. Turns out one of the struts
had an air leak of some sort. They replaced the whole unit
and now it only does that when I dont start it in over a month.

The car should not sag when it sits. You have a leak. If ti sags more than a set figure it is not correct. If you have a warranty I would get it fixed. The trouble is that with the leak the airmatic pump will always be on while driving and it will slowly burn out.

I used to let my car sit for a month or more and it never sagged more than half an inch.

I think it's normal because my car sits like that all the time, even when I'm driving.
