E60 - Left Suspension Higher Than Right Suspension - Need Advice

[alianisa_04]

I just realize that my left side car higher than my right side car. Random measure that the left side higher at least 1 finger than the right side (measure from tyre to fander arch). I also put water level tool (alat timbang air) that show me the fact. I ask to one mechanic at the bmw workshop at skudai, JB. He told me that BMW was design that kind of suspension to suite the road design (gradient ramp-centre road higher than side road to easy water flow). Any expert on this?..tq..

That's normal laa bro .... my E46 oso senget sebelah kanan (m-sport suspension). One of reason why is that the cars are originally designed for left hand drive and it takes into account of the drivers weight, steering column and etc for the left side ... But i don't know why BMW never bothered to re-alligned the suspension set-ups when it manufactures cars for the right hand drive market. According to albundy it's still even true for the E90 and E60. Even the battery placement is on the right side to makes it even more worse lol.

probably it's to compensate for the driver's weight..so when the driver is seated in the car, the car becomes level? (assuming what you mean by "right side" is where the driver is seated)..think this was discussed in length somewhere it the forum

by the way, noticed your nickname is "alia nisa", a woman beemer owner perhaps?
