My Ride: Newest: 2006 e61 530xiT, 6spd man, Sport/Prem/Cold/Nav pkgs
Next: 1999 e36 Z3c 2.8, SN 00002, 5spd
First: 1988 e30 M3, "M Monster" track-day car, 3.2L s52 conversion, roll cage, wicked suspension, Quaiffe ATB diff, 3.46 gears, 285hp @ crank, 2700lbs....not slow.
After suffering the droopy bottom during a recent (and VERY bouncy) return trip out of state, the '06 530xiT, it's off to the BMW store for a CPO warranty replacement.
As I want to be an informed customer before arriving at the BMW dealer, I ran across the following website listing NHTSA (US folks) recall and TSB info. It's somewhat terse, but informative nonetheless.

Hope it helps someone else.

My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi
Grey/Grey Budapest 18"
Lost to HPFP issues:
08 535i sport pkg
Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks:
07 E61 530Xi
Sorry the only stuff I saw had NOTHING to do with bad Air shocks in the rear, or a Bad Pump/ air lines , which is what usually causes the droopy rear end on the wagons.
I did see a shock mount recall on 03-06 5,6,7's but not on the wagon....

Absolutely agree, didn't mean to imply there was recall info concerning the self leveling susp...sorry.
Just a little FYI.
However, the BMW TIS DOES suggest replacing the air springs if the car has been driven on the deflated system.
