air suspension arghhhhhhhhhhhh

[thecynic]

Bought my BMW 520 touring 2 weeks ago from a dealer, think the left hand rear airbag has gone due to a loud bang a a rapid loss of air. Do i need to fit a new airbag or can uprate the rear shock absorbers to get round this?

Also do i have any recourse to the dealer?

I fitted a pair if new air springs to my E39 this evening. 45 mins to put the car on axle stands & 15 mins per side. Easy to DIY but in your situation definitely back to the dealer.

Did you use BMW oem parts or did you source them fron an indepedent?

They were OEM - they are the sports suspension but same price as the non-sports.

Left: 37121095081
Right: 37121095082

Each one was £150.29 + VAT

Parts numbers for the non-sports are 37121094613 & 37121094614

Hope that helps.
