That means the air has left the shocks. The compressor may have a bad fuse or have stopped working all together. The level sensor may not be operating either.

It could be the suspension if you have the semi airmatic suspension equipped on the vehicle. It will level itself out to a certain height after the vehicle is turned off. Most of the time the wagons are equipped with a self leveling suspension at least for the rear. The pump and the filter where the air would release is in the right front underneath the headlight if i remember correctly
Try jacking up the vehicle and putting it on jack stands letting the suspension hang down. Disconnect the battery for a few minuts and reconnect it and it should inflate the airbags and level off the suspension.
Your car, being a 735 iL (the iL being the key here) requires what is called Pentosin 7.1. This is a mineral based hydraulic fluid used in BMW's with self leveling suspension. Since your car is an iL you have self leveling suspension. Not a lot of parts stores carry this fluid. NAPA has it, if it's not on the shelf they can order it. BMW dealers also stock it. The same pump that runs your self leveling also runs your power stearing and they are filled in the same location as they share a common resivoir. This resivoir is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side and looks like a black bottle with a screw type cap.
your leveling sensor will be on the rear suspension it will hook to one of thwe control arms.
you can un hook the arm and push it all the way down and should let air out
