BMW 1 Series Suspension Failure, Leaning and Error Issues

Hey there! I've got some experience with cars and had a similar issue with my 2020 BMW 2 Series last year. The symptoms you're describing sound exactly like what I went through, the uneven ride height and those annoying error messages were driving me crazy! Took it to my trusted workshop and they diagnosed a faulty air suspension valve. The whole repair, including parts and labor, set me back about 590 Euro. They had my car for two days, but the actual work only took about 4-5 hours. Been running smooth as silk since then. Could you share more details about your mileage and whether you've noticed any unusual noises? Also, when did these symptoms first appear? This would help me give you more specific insights based on my experience. Just a heads up, don't drive it too much in this condition as it could damage other suspension components.

Thanks for sharing your experience! My car has 38925 KM on it, and I just started noticing these issues about a week ago. It started with a slight tilt, then gradually got worse. Haven't heard any strange noises yet, but the bouncy ride is getting more noticeable by the day. I actually had my regular service done just last month and everything was fine then. That's what makes this even more frustrating. Good to know about the repair time and costs though, gives me a better idea of what to expect. I'll try to get it checked out this week before it gets worse. Would you recommend getting a second opinion, or should I just head straight to the dealership?

Hey again! Yeah, that's really frustrating when problems pop up right after a service. My BMW had about 45,000 KM when I faced similar issues. Looking at your mileage, it's about the same ballpark where these problems typically start showing up. From my experience, I'd actually recommend going straight to the dealership this time. I initially tried a regular workshop to save some money, but they couldn't properly diagnose the air suspension system. Ended up spending more time and money before finally going to the dealer. The dealership has the right diagnostic tools and they're more familiar with these specific air suspension systems. Just make sure to mention all the symptoms you're experiencing. When I took mine in, I almost forgot to tell them about the gearbox shifting issues, which turned out to be related to the suspension control module. The dealer might charge more than independent shops, but trust me, it's worth it for this particular problem. Let me know how it goes when you get it checked out. I'm curious if it's exactly the same issue as mine. The fact that yours started with a slight tilt before getting worse is pretty much identical to what happened with my car.

Thanks so much for all the detailed advice! I just called the dealership and managed to get an appointment for tomorrow morning. You're right, it's probably better to go straight to them rather than shopping around and potentially wasting time and money. The service advisor I spoke with seemed to recognize the symptoms right away, which is reassuring. I made sure to list all the issues, including the gearbox shifting problems you mentioned. They said they'll do a full diagnostic check and get back to me with their findings. The estimated cost they quoted was slightly higher than what you paid, around 700 Euro, but I guess that's just how dealership prices go. Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it's helped me feel much more confident about what I'm dealing with. I'll definitely update you once I get the car back and let you know if it was the same issue. Thanks again for all your help!
