The original chassis/platform template for these cars were originally designed and tested for left hand drive traffic systems. In these systems, the road surface will incline gradually to the right to aid in water run-off during the rainy season. Imagine then, putting a 200-pound-odd german engineer on the left seat(driver's) and see if the car is level....the car would be consistently be running off towards the right. How do you counter this? Engineer in some incline/sag/droop into the right side of the chassis.In our right hand drive system everything works in the opposite manner. That's why if you notice on almost all continental cars, the caster angle on the left wheel is always adjusted at an extreme angle(i.e. almost touching the front bumper, and this is very apparent on Mercedes), or else you will always experience a gradual creep to the left during highway cruising.On my E30, the difference was almost an inch. But after fitting onsome after market sway bars and bushings, it seems to have somewhat reduced by half.Hope all this makes sense.
Agree wit Kevster cos i always fell my car creep to the left during highway cruising and even a town drive. I sent my car for aliagment n balancing,result still the same.
