My E34 has an uneven rear , the drivers side is slightly lower. After New shocks, mountings, rubber bushes it is still lower. Unlikley to be the springs as I changed another shock assembly to see if it was springs, still same problem. One old timer BMW E34 spare parts shop wizard in jalan Ipoh said, its 'an old e34 story' there spacers for this problem . I had a look at the spacers , about 2cm high with right drivers side higher. Anyone has had this problem ?
 
all of non-adjustable suspension e34s and other previous generation BMW owners (even heard that e46 has the same thing) has this. not to worry, it has been like that since day one of the factory.
This is due to the fact that BMWs are engineered for left hand drive european use.
So they purposely make the right side lower to compensate when the driver sits in the driver sit.
So when the driver is in, theoretically the car should be level.
So far I have no problem with my car slightly lower on the right hand side.

You can google this if you don't believe me.
