suspension problems

[fatboynash]

Been to look at a 2003 X5 Diesel Sport today which hasn't been moved/driven for at least 4 months.

Couldn't start the car as battery was flat but the main thing I noticed was that the rear of the car was sitting very low.

Would this be due to the air suspension losing pressure whilst it's been standing and, if so, would it recover once the vehicle is running again?

very probably! couldn't the car be jump started? the rear should rise up then with a bit of dc powering the compressor.
