I've done all the reading about bad airmatic systems but don't know if what mine does is normal or not.
After driving as I lock and walk away I notice the car looks high at front end? When I return and hit unlock you hear the hiss of air as the bags deflate and lower the car? Looks sick how low it goes but then when I start it pumps up a little.

How do you keep it in the low position and yes I'm aware of the button in the car? Or is it possible to just pull a dang fuse while low so compresser doesn't kick on and raise it up again?

06 E55 no mods bone stock and no other issues. Are these up/down self adjustments normal as long as they are not extreme?

Thanks

 

Perfectly normal.

 

You need lowering links to keep it low or washers or a lowering module or use STAR to lower it. Plenty of options.

 

Right on thanks! Been looking at doing the washer idea but hesitated with the fear the system was already having issues. I'll push onward since this is normal.

Again thanks for the input!!
