Thanks for being that awesome guy! There is not a lot of online resources out here for repairing your 550i 750i cars.

Secure the three bolts inside the car first before installing the big bolt at the bottom of the shock absorber to make you life easier.

Great job on the video I have A760LII and that is exactly what I need to have done so I appreciate all the knowledge that you share today great job

On mine, when I put the new air nipple on the air line I left the tip of the line a little long and when I screwed it into the pressure valve on the strut, it wasn't letting the air in the bag. Even with 130 psi. It drove me nuts. All I had to do is cut the tip of the air line a little shorter in front of the brass nipple and it filled up. Then just had to calibrate the ride height and it worked. I almost replaced the compressor but I didn't have to.

If both sides develop the sagging at the same time, it could be the pump or the diverter. If it is one side only, it will be after the diverter. Always check for leak at the diverter and brass connections, and also the tubing. Replacing the struts is always the last thing to do and there are aftermarket struts (without those sensors) for a lot cheaper. So, $100 if u have to replace the tubings and connections, and $500 at most to replace the struts. Don't spend thousands. It make no sense to spend 25% (more or less) of the value of the car to repair just the suspensions.

Very helpful Appreciate the insight into the problem Really like the step by step approach

Great job putting this together. Much appreciated!

Guys like you are really really cool. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Question: What do you think about replacing with coil springs?? Thanks

Any issues with the quality of the aftermarket shocks 1 year later with durability or ride quality difference?

Thx man for this awesome video that helped me a lot 💪💪💪💪 keep going and do shit like this 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great job Poppa ❤

Great info. Thanks for videos you post. When replacing the air strut as show here, would you need to program, code, or update anything on computer (other than calibrate ride height if required) for the new part(s)? Please advice. Thanks again

One warning and comment. before you jack up the car, take the nuts off the shock towers, and when you lossesn them all the way, 1. You have to use a magnet if you want to take the nuts off the shock towers and keep them. I tried without, lost two of them inside the car, had to get new ones at the dealer. Do not jack up the car with the nuts loose, or they will fall off and inside the metal, you will never get them out or back. I had to go to the dealer to get 2 of them because of this. YOU HAVE to use a magnet to pick them up, and put them on, just like he does in the video. As for the 21mm bolt, on the shock bottom, i used a Dewalt 20V 250lb impact, and it would not do anything, i had to use a 21mm wrench and a hammer to get to break loose, so be ready to deal with it, unless you have an air impact, with more than 250lbs of torque you are in for a lesson. He is right that you have to remove the brakes to get the shocks out, i removed the two bolts holding the entire caliper assembly together, it was easier to take off them take the brakes all apart. Overall that's pretty much it, when you have the fenderliners off, you might as well spare and clean out the underside, cause there is always grease and road stuff on here, i even replaced my fender liners cause they were 11 years old and dried out. For those that do not want to run BMW Air shocks as replacements, you can buy rebuild kits on eBay for like 300 bucks for the pair, its not too hard to do, there is a youtube video in how to rebuild them, its a 2 person job but will save you a fortune vs. replacing the entire units. Or you can buy Chinese shocks, swap them, but the rebuild kits, and sell the BMW hardware valved units on ebay for your money back and some, you probably would break almost even if you do it right. LAST WARNING - when you replace your shocks you have to get to a ISTA+ programmer to reset your coding and ride height to the car, if you do not do this you will get a EDC error on your dash and your car will ride like it has no suspension on it. I also learned this hard lesson by having to take it to the dealer to get reset and fixed. This is something that they do not tell you in the video either. There are coders online that can do this remotely, but in my case, my software needed updating so it had to go back to the dealer.

great job on this video dude

Thank you for your training

Would You recommend changing to Springs..? That’s what I did in My X5 it worked perfectly. I want to do the same thing to My 750li What do you think..? Please respond

thank you for making this video!!

Did all you recommended and the new bags are way bigger..like 4 inches more longer creatine and issue do.you recommend anything for that. Thanks.. and thanks for the video was amazingly good.

very informative.. very clear

I'm going through this exact thing now on my 2009 750li. The compressor replacement cost $2400, and the air shock replacement is $5600. The dealer replaced the compressor today then discovered the shocks weren't holding air.

Great video!

Good job 👍🏼

nice work!

@IEEuros,I followed your KZfaq video to replace the left rear strut on my 2011 BMW 750 Li with an OEM part. The installation went smoothly, but I'm now seeing an error on the screen indicating a malfunction in the Electronic Damper Control. The error code displayed is D76D61. Any advice on how I can fix this?"

Hello Francisco, Juan here. First, thanks for all the good information from your videos. Today is 8/09/23 My 750li has a small on the rear passenger side. Would you recommend to replace the air bag assembly from the air shock unit. Is it a difficult task for a DIY enthusiast lol? You don’t mention any of that in your video but the whole unit is too pricey. I’ve seen a few places selling just the bags.

Question….. When I’d lifting mind bummer from the rear driver side, I did hear air pressure coming out…. So, should be the suspension replaced or the compressor??? I will really appreciate it if you can advice me what to do at this point. Thx!

Hello, to make that suspension change, you need to do it after putting some programming in the car's computer so that it recognizes the new suspensions ???

What would make it have a level malfunction?

What about to eliminate all that crap,put some electronic reading components and install regular shocks?

Question. one of my shocks is loosing air I start the car goes back up etc and it will hold air for a while... why do we have an air compressor for ? once the bags are inflated they are supposed to stay like that right ? or does the system actually drains them and then fills them back up ? based on each Comfort, sport mode etc ?

Hi, I have issue with my 750Li, When I lock car, right rear side falls down and next 10-15h another side will falls down. First question, If rear right shock will be bad, air will be lost also from left side ?Or this side should be in upper ?

The super long bolt at the bottom of the shock absorber is so tight I cannot get it off. My big impact gun is too big to fit and my small impact gun is too weak to get the bolt off. I'm super frustrated

I need help in Oklahoma, I have a 04’ 760Li and need a mechanic like this

Where did you purcahse this part?

I need help finding and replacing amp and subs

i just sold my 2015 750li....ill get a new 1 once this disaster is over

Why not lower the vehicle on the 3pins. That would provide the giving gap spacing to close. Or jack the wheel up to close gap Boom no need for the second person. Though I have 3 boys definitely can find someone if needed

What’s up,when are you going to make the video replacing the air compressor?

How did you lift the rear of bmw there’s no jack point in the manual.

The top is 13mm 😊 Holding

I just replaced driver side air strut and tested. All 3 others raise, does that mean my air compressor is bad? Or module, or the new air strut? Please advise, tks 2011 bmw 740li

2008 model BMW rear air suspension how to remove 730 Ld

Скажи это какой брэнд ,это BMW оригинал или аналог ?

I need a air spring

Isn’t fuse 182?

i have the opposite problem; that is with the front suspension of my '07 750i: it is too high. i would like to lower it by 20 mm. how do i do it?

Get rid of that air ride, you need a hydraulic retro kit like lexus ls 460.

Bro that’s easy to say to buy all the parts this is clearly not your car or your money been spend
