Interesting, I had a similar issue with my Mini Cooper. The symptoms sound familiar. Mine was leaning to one side, and I was getting a suspension malfunction warning. Have you checked for any obvious air leaks around the suspension components? Also, does your's have load leveling? It could be a component related to that system. Did you check error codes?

Yes, I checked the error memory and there was indeed a code related to the suspension pump. You mentioned load leveling. Is that a separate component or integrated into the air suspension system? And where exactly should I be looking for these air leaks?

Load leveling, if equipped, is usually integrated with the air suspension. As for the air leaks, listen carefully around the struts and air lines with the engine running. A hissing sound is a dead giveaway. Given your symptoms and the error code, it does sound like a pump or wiring issue, similar to mine. Though I traced mine back to the pump, with the error code, it could be the connector. Honestly, I ended up taking mine to a workshop. Diagnostics is key.

Thank you for your input. I took it to a local workshop, and it turned out to be a defective cable connection to the suspension pump, just as you suspected. They replaced the connector for 95€, and the issue seems to be resolved. Much appreciated!

Mám problémy s vzduchovým odpružením mého Mini Cooperu z roku 2013. Auto je nízko a nezvedne se. Navíc se výrazně naklání. Vidím kontrolku na palubní desce a dostávám varování tachometru. Při kontrole regulace dosahu světlometů si všímám, že potkávací světlo je zjevně špatně seřízené. Podezřívám, že je vadné vzduchové čerpadlo. Mohlo by to souviset s vadným kabelem nebo konektorem?
