Stock ride height query

Hi all.

I have a 2008 e92 335i Msport, ill spare you all the details but having a friendly dispute with a friend on the stock ride height of the car from factory. As my car is on coilover suspension mine is altered and not the true value so i cannot get an accurate reading from my own vehicle.

Can any clever person tell me what the ride height is (measured from the 'highest' point of the wheel arch down to the bottom of the rim) on a STOCK e92?! Bonus points for front and rear measurements as im sure these will be different. I would be eternally grateful for anyone who can offer any help.

i think its in the region 23/24 inches but anyone who can tell me the exact figures is a hero.

Thanks in advance
