hi all,

is it normal for all bimmers to sit slightly lower on the rhs? i heard its due to the cars being designed for the driver to sit on the left i.e equal it out, i also heard you can get a "shimm or plate" inserted into the suspension to raise it and even the look from the rear of the car. any ideas?

Good question mate,mines always sat lower on the O/S even tho Ive had new shocks,springs and top mounts done,I'll be keeping an eye on this thread :)

I reckon mine use to be like this. Drives syraight though so give up caring

Comedy springs :rolleyes:... New one on me if they're built like that :blink: !!

Never hurd of this.....

Never hurd of this.....

New to me too mate..

BMW would have compensated for LHD to RHD I'm thinking if this is right?

Definately a myth guys :mellow:

Still doesnt answer why my car sits diff on both sides does it,lol

me thinks adjustable coilovers is the way to go now then......time to log into ebay and get this shizzle sorted :)!!

I thought i was the only one!!! Looking at all my e36's they've always sat lower on one side.. And iv had countless different suspension on it ( Surrey Potholes ) i thought i was being too picky... Glad someone else has brought this up =D

Well that's what I call freaky! I just noticed that my 2008 320i m sport coupé sits about 10mm lower on the right than the left when washing it this weekend. I came on here to ask if anyone new what the cause could be and I found this thread! :)

Does anyone have any idea why? I'm not getting any noises or issues when driving, just scared the hell out me when i noticed it. Any suggestions for a cure?

Thanks in advance ;)
