The Beemer has disgraced itself. At just over 90k miles and nearly 7 years old, the rear air suspension has given up the ghost. Quick google reveals this to be common at age/mile commensurate, and could be a mere sensor (120 quid fitted) fuse or relay, or pump/suspension leg(s) at nearer £1k.
To be fair, its hauled 70kg (cage and two dogs) in the back for all its hard life, never had an advisory, or anything other than service related items. Problem is it needs the BMW diag tool - ISTA - to delve into theses codes/settings, so I am at the mercy of my indy.
May need to invest in a pirate copy of ISTA going forwards.
