Struts clicking when opening and closing boot.

Yesterday my x3 started making an odd noise. Like when you walk out to unlock the car that sound when the air struts come on is now a clicking rather than the cool woosh of air it used to make. It aslo sounds different when you open and close the boot door with an odd clicking.

DId a seal in the air struts break or something?

I don't understand what you mean, maybe film this and link us the youtube video.

Is it an automatic lid?

I don't understand this either. What part of an X3 makes a whooshing sound when you unlock it? X3s don't have air suspensions, so you must be talking about something else.

The woosh is the fuel pump priming.

and what does this have to do with the struts and the lid?

seriously, this topic sounds like a riddle.
