    BMW and land rover did a sneaky with the solenoids and changed them so you had to buy the complete compressor! Sold hundreds of bags when I was at BMW so very common, the glue starts to unstick around the cups and once the car hits the bump stops the bags tend to wear a hole. Full marks for not pulling the jack straight out, can lead to the new ones tearing if they drop to the bump stops

    Something I noticed doing the bag on the other side was the destroyed bump stop. That was the side that drops. I think I’ll be ordering a pair of bump stops.

    @@Thecarislife must have done it for a while, I'd put the money aside for a compressor just incase as they don't like over use, well that's what BMW told me to up sale lol. You've done the right thing getting it sorted quickly

    @kendragndrivefansuk3853 I still have the compressor of my old 2002 E39 touring. I think it looks exactly the same in a different mount.

    I would imagine the compressor is the expensive part. Fortunately I’ve not had to change one yet 🤞
