-Self-levelling-suspension on e32

[william]

Hi Ppl,Anyone can kindly advise on these issue arise - rhs is -12mm then the Lhs, but rhs absorb is not leaking !- master pump is leaking badly?? Anyone encounter can share!!

from what i read somewhere.. all bmw are lower on the right hand side... this is due to the fact that bmw are made for left hand drive countries. So when the driver seats on the left side, the car will be perfectly neutral.

Correct me if i'm wrong. Cause mine are like that, and so are many others which i've seen parked are like this.

Hmm, serious ka? Never really noticed that on my E32; the drop I mean...

Anyways, William, is yours the LWB version? Mine hasn't got the self-levelling mechanism though. Best that you consult Gregcwho, who also owns an E32 with the self-levelling suspension.

bro, try measuring the wheel arch gap by using ur fingers.. see how many fingers can fit through... you don't see it till you measure it i guess.

Eh wait wait, now that you mention it. Everytime I apply tyre dressing, I noticed that the left side is slightly higher. As in, the gap between the tyres and the wheelarch. The left side I can fit my hands in easily, but the right... Quite a squeeze.

Thanks for the clarification! Always thought it was something wrong with my suspension. Haha.

It is a LW model.

For RHS. No room for any finger to insert between wheelarch and tyre.

But LHS, it can have 2 fingers width between then.

Note: I notice when doing hard Turing right side with Ppl at RHS rear, my RHS rear gives knocking sound, but did not grace between wheelarch and tyre.

Any comment on this issue.

william, if u have the SLS, then there's a correct height that your rear is supposed to be. for my m5, its i think 545mm, or something like that. u better check what's the correct height for the e32.

have u also changed the sls bombs? u need to fix the leak, otherwise no pressure for the SLS.

Thks ramsing,
I will fix the master pump leak.

Wat abt the knocking sound on rear rhs absorber when Turing?? Any enlightening......
