Issue with suspension when the vehicle is parked?

Occasionally, after my 2009 X6 50i has remained stationary for a period of time, the suspension on the passenger side seems to be elevated significantly while the suspension on the driver side appears to be lowered significantly. During the first minutes of driving, the suspension exhibits a notably rigid and unforgiving response, causing the vehicle to experience severe vibrations when encountering speed bumps. After a brief period of time, the vehicle stabilises and operates in a typical manner.

Has anybody encountered this issue? Is it only a computer issue?

Has been ongoing for an extended period of time.

I had a similar problem with my vehicle, where the whole rear section of the car would sag in the morning or after extended periods of parking. The technician said that they changed the rear "shock" (although it seemed to me that there could be a problem with both rear shocks). The issue has been resolved. Because the item is still covered by the guarantee, I did not incur any costs for it.

If your warranty has expired, ensure that you thoroughly inspect all the fittings before opting to replace the complete shock absorber. It is possible that there is a leak occurring before the shock occurs.

I really dislike intermittent issues.

My computer's performance fluctuates, sometimes it runs well and other times it becomes unresponsive intermittently.

Occasionally, my 2013 BMW X5 35i xDrive has a complete deflation or "sitting down" on both sides of the rear axle while parked on level ground. When the automobile is parked with its front end facing downwards or at an angle, there are instances when it does not lower or "settle" at all.

While driving on the motorway, the vehicle sometimes exhibits smooth performance, but at other times it experiences a hopping motion both during forward travel and while reversing down a 40-yard downhill driveway.

I presume that I own a defective air bag, which is the reason for its erratic movement. One tyre loses air pressure while the other tyre remains unaffected. As I drive, I can hear the air pump attempting to fill the tyre around once per minute.

However, why do both bags lose air pressure while the vehicle is parked and the engine is not running.

Assist me, Obi-Wan! You are my only source of hope!
