When starting the car up, it went from the previous "hybrid" mode to "electric" mode (default start up mode...). This ment that the air suspension lowered two steps and the car lowered itself onto the obstacle, creating a small scratch in the paint underneath the front lip.

I want to avoid this in the future by not letting the car change height automatically. I want the car to lower only when manually flipping the height switch next to the gear leveler.

Can I use a simple coding app, eg. Bimmercode (?) or simliar, to achieve this?

Thanks !
maybe this helps out as i did it in mine and works perfectly. via coding, change your default startup mode to Sport Individual as I like my car to be lowered at all times :-) (i dont remember if there is a confort individual option in coding) . so what this allows me is to set the suspension in sport, transmission in comfort and steering in comfort. regardles of what setting i manually have, when i lock the car, it lowers :-)
