Air suspension is great for the original owner/lessee .... eventually. however.. . the air bladders will fail... giving the vehicle that 3 wheel motion.. or side to side
gangsta lean... we've all seen it on six to ten year old Mercedes E , S , and R class vehicles... along with American SUVS like Lincoln Navigators and Ford Expeditions... it really doesn't take long for these systems to fail and they fail more quickly in hot climates.

I would rather go with magnetic adjustable dampers that shouldn't fail completely like air suspension.
I agree...overall i am really enjoying the carwow reviews.
According to the final analysis.. The BMW edges the other two out on
1- interior quality
2- technology
3- overall drive
that sounds like a slam dunk.
