BMW 740 air suspension button is located below the center console. Here are specific details about the air suspension: How to use BMW 740 air suspension: Press the vehicle's one-touch start button to activate the engine; otherwise, adjustments cannot be made. Then, press the button on the center armrest to adjust the chassis lifting function. After activating the vehicle lifting function, the central LCD screen can display the ground clearance. At this time, the vehicle's ground clearance can be observed from outside the car. The vehicle's height will also change with the lifting adjustment. Introduction to air suspension: Air-adjustable suspension refers to a suspension system that uses an air compressor to generate compressed air and adjusts the vehicle's ground clearance through this compressed air. Vehicles equipped with air-adjustable suspension generally have ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and then controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby achieving shock absorption effects.
As a long-time BMW enthusiast, I find the air suspension button placement on the 740 quite intuitive. It's located on the center console near the gear shift lever, specifically adjacent to the driving mode selection buttons like SPORT or COMFORT, marked with a chassis height indicator. Pressing it allows real-time adjustment of the vehicle's height to suit different road conditions—super practical for scenarios like steep parking lot entrances to prevent undercarriage scraping. I make it a habit to check this button before each drive to avoid issues like sticking or dust accumulation causing poor contact. BMW's placement is ergonomic—easily reachable without bending. If the button malfunctions, checking fuses or system faults might be necessary, while regular cleaning can extend its lifespan. Approximately 160 words in total.
