    Ride Height slightly off

    I noticed my car sits slightly lower on the left side, I'm thinking
    worn subframe bushing? Any ideas?

    Maybe worn spring pads on one side?

    And your idea.

        Definitely lower on the left side and didn't you just get new wheels?

          yeah, i dont like em that much... 17" is too big, 16" would be better.

          Honestly, i always though the same of mine, but its not leaning in any way. Only thing that sets ride height is the springs. Spring pads may come into factor, or low tire pressure, but unless you ahve a borken spring [which ou would know] there shouldnt be any reason for a lean

            I agree. I had 17" MM-II's on my last car, and ever since I've had 16's, that what I'm sticking with. They look better, and they don't dwarf the brakes nearly as bad as 17's.

              That happens on most BMW's man, its because there usually always an uneven weight distribution - the driver.

                    And I was thinking that it's THAT specific reason that made the Germans put a right slant on the engine, mount the battery on the right, run the exhuast manifold on the right, and bias the spare tire well to the right, all to make up for the eventual left lean the car would have after being driven from the left seat for years...

                    Hm..

                      Mine leans as well....Ive been trying to even it out with my ground controls. Cars in the air now and I made measurments before it went up and made slight adjustments to the spring perches so well see if that does the trick.

                            Yeah, even after I got new springs, shocks, subframe bushings, and rsm's my car still leans.

                              All of us lean to the left b/c of the driver. I'm not sure how to get around it. I've replaced all suspension components(springs, shocks, bushings) within the last year and still it leans.
