![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | To my mind the only real reason to employ air suspension is for the ability to raise and lower the suspension in SUVs. Otherwise, standard steel springs, properly tuned and used in conjunction with adaptive dampers are a far more cost-effective, lighter and more elegant solution.

![]() | I think it also has to do with reliability issues, coil springs and dampers are far more reliable especially in the SUVs. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | BMW have proven many times they are not dancer ... Human vs dancer ... Homo sapiens (wise human) vs Homo automaticus (automated human) ... Independent thinking vs mass hysteria ... Leading vs following ... New steps vs accustomed steps. It's that simple. |
