    Nobody has said it yet, so here goes..........

    It's an optical delusion. Park your car on a slight downhill grade with a corner or tilt on the inside edge and I think you'll find your picture compares very favorably. On the other hand, the pic you posted is on an uphill grade with the outside edge tilted bit lower than the inside edge.

    They're called professional photographers for a reason.........IMHO.........

    I work at a dealer, i see E38s and E34s side by side all the time. The E38 has a higher rear end, it's kinda by both height and rear car design

    Stiffer/more Leaves in the back end... I can understand that, having continually toyed with 70's Corollas!!

    Due to the fact that lowering blocks are difficult/expensive/time consuming to fit, a lot if the local rednecks simply left the back end standard height, and took the angle-grinder/oxy torch to the front springs. I've seen a bit of that, and its horrid!!

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    And then...

    I think alot of that is just the lines of the car, especially how the rear pillar blends with the trunk. Also the crease under the door handles may be at a bit more of an angle.

    Okay... for a start in this picture the E38 is on a hill, i.e. noise is down!

    Also the rear wheel arch design is different on the two models, the E34 has a flatter top arch, giving the impression of a lower back end!..

    Yeah, i'm talking about the E38 7 series not the E32. That doesn't look healthy though...
