Default Lets Talk Air Suspensions

Quite a few options for air suspension exist lets talk about experiences, and options to look for making life easier, and budgets.

I am considering going air suspension for ride quality. E60 m rides so good right now and there aren't any soft coilovers that are remotely adjustable. I have h&r touring on e90 and I don't want this e60 to ride that rough.

Requirements:
Daily driver need reliability
Easy adjustability digital
Height presets programmed so alignment will be accurate for highway driving
Air compressor fit in spare tire well?

I'm running the AirRex kit. Rides very similar to coilovers. The strut is threaded and there's 12-way adjustability I believe. The kit is advertised as trackable... there's a Youtube video of a FRS on the same kit auto-x'ing.

Damn! Yeah, I stopped by PX right after I picked it up from the body shop. I was on KWs then.

I have a sponsorship so I don't know what the kit retails for... I think high $4k range though.
