The 37206875176 is an original-equipment-grade air suspension compressor pump developed specifically for the BMW 5 Series GT (F07) and 5 Series Touring (F11), manufactured by Wabco. This component serves as the core power source for the vehicle's rear-axle self-levelling air suspension system, responsible for continuously supplying high-pressure compressed air to the rear air springs to maintain the standard ride height and driving stability.
The rear-axle air suspension systems of the BMW 5 Series GT and Touring share the same technology platform with the contemporary 7 Series (F01/F02), both utilising pneumatic components supplied by Wabco. This compressor is manufactured by Wabco to strict OE standards, holding TUV certification, and fully complies with BMW's original design requirements in terms of material selection, manufacturing precision and durability testing. This product is supplied as the compressor core assembly, installed in the spare wheel well of the luggage compartment. During installation, the original vehicle's electrical connector, air lines and mounting bracket must be reused.
When the original compressor suffers performance degradation due to system leaks, prolonged wear or motor faults, this brand-new Wabco unit represents the most reliable replacement solution for restoring the rear self-levelling suspension system to full working order.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Q1: How can I tell if my 5 Series air suspension compressor needs replacement? | Typical failure symptoms include: the rear of the vehicle settling noticeably after parking, failing to maintain standard ride height; the compressor operating with unusually loud noise or running continuously without switching off; a suspension system warning appearing on the instrument cluster; and a noticeably bumpy rear ride that loses the comfort expected from self-levelling suspension. Before replacing the compressor, you must first check the air springs and air lines for leaks – if the system has a leak, replacing the compressor alone will not fundamentally solve the problem. |
| Q2: Is this compressor suitable for the 5 Series Sedan (F10)? | No. The 5 Series Sedan (F10) uses a different rear suspension structure (Multi-link Integral V system) and is not equipped with air suspension. This product is specifically designed for 5 Series GT (F07) and 5 Series Touring (F11) with rear-axle air suspension, as well as the same-platform 7 Series. |
| Q3: Should I replace other components at the same time as the compressor? | BMW officially recommends replacing the air suspension relay (part number 61368373700) and vent hose (part number 37206874510) when replacing the compressor. Additionally, the air springs and air lines should be inspected for leaks to prevent the new pump from prematurely failing again due to air leaks elsewhere in the system. |
