[QUOTE="forge, post: 177312, member: 1401"] This is a problem with ALL BMWs apparently. Originally BMW (which are LHD by design) have the driver side about 1/2 inch higher than the passenger side. This is so that when the driver is seated in the car, the weight of the driver makes the car level. However the bloody BMW factory did not switch this around on RHD cars, so the RH side is still 1/2 lower than the LH. And even lower when the driver is seated in. I've asked around and apparently there is nothing to be done as the diff in height is in the subframe - so changing absorbers / bushings etc won't make a difference. Always pisses me off though.
