Hi guys,
not happened to me, but maybe interesting for the ones, which have this fault ..
A few days ago I rummaged in the BMW TIS system ... According BMW official documents the air shock strut has to be replaced after driving the car with faulty compressed air system ...
Regards Peter

When I saw that the title of this thread was droopy bottom, I expected to see a picture of an old woman, not an E61!

that?s only what the original documents say ( or your BMW dealer if you bring the car to him with this fault ) ..
Maybe it is possible, that the rubber bellow gets damaged while driving without ait pressure ?

I am not sure if any one want me to do a write up with photos support like what i have done for the rear number plate light problem that i had a few months ago. it is not really hard to change the pump. should there be more than 10 member requested this. i shall then do it for the E61 nation.
