i may have to get somebody to check suspension to see if its ok. i just think right side sits lower, my E90 doesnt sit like this even with full tank and battery there

To get a true idea of the differences between sides, take it for a drive and leave it somewhere flat without the handbrake on. Will give you a clearer indication. From memory, I think all of my BMWs have sat lower on the drivers side, especially on the handbrake.
thanks matt, ill try this!

Im pretty sure when I did my suspension I had a full tank so that when I set it up I could see how the car sat with a decent amount of weight in the car. I also got my maud to sit in the back (middle) and then judged how much to adjust the coilovers.

I have noticed the car looks as thought it is at odd heights on the back at times but you have to remember that most of the weight is on the drivers side. Normally there would be a good balance of weight as you'd be sat on the other side to the tank and have a relatively equal distribution of weight but as its all on one side it makes it look odd.

Theres a chance someone will know a damn sight more than me though.
havent seen you on here in a while! cant get day time photo's up as im out the door by 7am and back home for 6! still using my E90 for the moment so when i see the E93 its dark.

what would coilovers actually do? not the most knowledgable about coilovers or suspension etc lol
