2006 E55 W211 Suspension issues

HELP!

I just came home from overseas anxiously waiting to take my AMG out for a ride and found it slammed to the ground. I figured, hopefully if I turned it on then it'll boost back up after everything is charged but all I got was the "car too low" signal on my dash. How can I trouble shoot this and what are my solutions? Also, does anyone know about these coil over kits I heard about? Is it worth it to convert ? Any info would be appreciated.

Is every side slammed to the ground?
it could be a simple fix. Get star diagnosed and go from there

Same for me. I remember several years ago I moved abroad for long while. Left my car in the garage. It was slammed on 4 corners evenly. When I came home. I started up red light but then it raised and filled up to normal. I heard the car can go into rest mode if you leave it for awhile. Not sure how legit that is.

My original airmatic springs lasted 11 years. I just replaced my rears and doing fronts next week when they arrive!

Is there any other way? I can't drive it at all and i'm afraid to get it towed since its so low. I can't even turn the wheels because of fender rub.

How long did you have to let it run for? It warmed it up and let it run for a while. Maybe 10-15 minutes or so.

When you start the car let it run
then press the raise button if noting happens then it's probably the pump
try to hear if the pump comes on at all
