I think its not only e90.. but also most of the udms here are tilting to right side. So do my e39. My car also 1cm lower on the right side..

A popular explaination is that BMWs are designed to ride evenly at each corner when a person sits on the left front seat, i.e. LHD. Is this true or coincidence? Beats me.

Think its true.. no other rational explaination..

I was told it's common for all BMWs. My E46 has the same tilt.

I think I felt a bit too...maybe it's too accommodate our road?

If to compensate the RHD road design then thumb up for the engineers, but what about LHD..still doesn't make sense.

Guys,read somewhere that it's caused by the mounting. Not sure whether the abs' mounting or others. They've discussed this in the e90 post.

It seems normal to tilt on driver side. Notice this on most my previous cars.
Maybe due to driver's weight on one side.
Did corner weight on my E90 325 when i replaced my msport shocks with rcs clubman, and the figures suggest otherwise.
Rear left is heavier than rear right by 20kg! ( with no one in the car)
20kg is one suitcase. My weight alone is 90+kg

Left Front : 359.5 kg Right Front : 420.0 kg Total Front = 779.5 kg ( 50.6%)
Left Rear : 391.5 kg Right Rear : 369.5 kg Total Rear = 761.0 kg ( 49.4%)
Total Weight = 1540.5 kg. ( full tank )

Just to add, even with new shocks, still tilt by 10cm

I don't think the height has anything to do with the sound that you are facing. I usually hear the sound when going over uneven roads but only when my steering is turned. If the steering is straight then I don't hear the sound. When I brought it to the service center, they said it was freeplay from the steering rack. I am trying to find the time now to go get a 2nd opinion.

Hi, my problem even appeared when i am driving on the straight road... but not so often... only when the road condition is really bad an uneven ... smooth uneven roads there is no sound... just wondering whether is the technician fixed something wrong when they change the lower arm bush for me initially... headache now.

Just make sure all the undercarriage mounts, nuts & bolts are tightened. I have some slight knocking sound when going through uneven surface too. Gonna check next service.
