    Looks like I cried wolf (insert blushing smiley here). On level ground there's hardly any difference. I guess I'm just becoming a little too concerned with her.
    She's due to reach 300000 any day now and I know no-one personally who has a car that made it to that age except here, which makes me want to REALLY make sure she's OK.

    My RHD car is slightly lower on the right side at the rear.

    Is this becomming an epidemic or just now noticed?

    I'd like to know if it's fact what the poster above said regarding different ride height to account for the driver's weight. It does make sense. Regardless, our driver sides are lower than passenger which no doubt is not good.

    I won't be able to do my replacement work for a couple of weeks as I am going on vacation sans BMW. But I'll know if the replacement parts take care of the sagging problem as soon as the job is completed and will post the results.

    I have noticed that my rear suspension sits slightly higher on the drivers side as well.
