All round Air Suspension?

Hello all,
I am here to pick anyone/everyone's brain, I don't know if it's possible? I don't even know if it's practical.
Currently my E53 has rear air suspension only (front springs.), Is there a way of fitting air suspension on the front? and is there any way of making it adjustable?
Ta very much.

If you have the money then anything is possible.
The question to ask yourself is that given all the trouble more and more owners are reporting with all round air suspension, why would you want to do that as against going all round springs?

That's the reason for my question, I guess i'm just having a nose around at what's out there.

There is more people out there with all around air suspension, wishing they only had it on the rear.
It's the biggest problem had with the 4.8' s known to man. Do a search on the forum.

You cannot be serious about wanting it, surely.......if you do, just buy a 4.8 and get ready to pay pay pay ...........if I hadn't had the warranty covering most of it, I would have changed to coilovers long ago.

I try not to be serious about anything, but having only had the car since February I am a mere newbie when it comes to the nuances of the X5, and it was a very brief thought, one that has now been scratched & banished from my mind!
Thank you all.
