320i ride height

[kvdavies]

Hi,Just collected my pre-reg 320i last thursday. After driving around for the past couple of days (and noticing other similar beemers) i find that my ride height may be a little higher than most. When compared with other 320i's awaiting delivery at AB Glenmarie, most cars there were about 4.5 fingers (~3.5") in the front and about 4 (~2.5") fingers in the rear. However, i've seen some seemingly stock 320i's in by apartment complex and office carpark that seem to ride lower. Is this a common inconsistency or am i imagining things! WOuld appreciate some feedback/comments. Many thanks

Let's go TT and do the finger thing.. Drive it more often, allow it to settle down, then compare again.

The car will settle more as you drive. I felt the same when i took delivery of my car and other 325i's seems more sleek and lower. Then the car settled down after a couple of months driving it. Also a full tank of fuel will see your rear sit noticably lower than an empty tank of gas.

Thanks E46F. Thats a relief to know. Was almost gonna run to AB Glenmarie this weekend to check it out. Worst case was even prepared to bring forward my plan of dropping in a set of Eibach's. Any idea why this is the case? Cheers
