Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is normal or anyone else has experienced this, but I have tried a few times at a few different places, when I bend down in front of my e46 it is quite obvious that the driver side ( RHD ) of my E46 sits slightly lower than the other. It is quite noticeable as there is a slight slant across, and when I compare the distance between ground to bumper it looks like there is a .5-1 inch height difference. It worries me but so far during my last 3 visits to the mechanic since getting the car a 3 weeks ago, no one seems to have noticed anything wrong. Appreciate if any bros has faced this situation before.Btw, my E46 is a 2003 318i CKD . N42 2.0 engine... =) Thanks in advance for the replies.
 
Oh..Thanks for the replies guys, just that it seems like so much lower and I was feeling concerned because it looks a bit weird ...
 
Bro, it is normal. I thought i had the same problem, thought my Eibach/Bilstein combo dah koyak. But after checking, mech claims it is normal lah. So dont panic.
 
open the front engine hood and see which side is the engine leaning on (BMW engines are not mounted straight up unless it's a V8 ,V10 or V12 engine) and which side you sit on (when you drive)... and then tell us what u think after you put 2 and 2 together... ;)
 
Ok, thank for the advise guys. Will do just that this weekend and update after that. =)

But till now, seems that I shouldn't be worried ... hehe
