Suspension-one lower than the other-help

[tohallan]

Hi All,

Looking at the front of the vehicle, the driver's side is approx 8-10mm lower than the passenger side. Measured from the ground to the wheel arch. Current the car (E46-320) is on the M-sports package everything is stock. Question: can the ride height be adjustable on this setup? Is is DIYable? Visually, although it is only 8-10mm lower one can tell the slight tilt to the driver side, even to an untrained eye you can tell. Any way to fix this problem, pls share.

thanks in advance.

Totally normal. Looks weird only.

All RHD BMW dips on the driver side.

You want perfect horizontal height = same for all 4 wheels, then only coilovers can get you that.

I think the car originally was designed as a left hand drive. Imagine now your car is left and drive and you have to sit on the passenger seat, the car will be more balance... ultimate driver machine mah... kekekkekeekek.
