I've just parked the wifes Coupe in the garage and noticed when looking from the rear it slopes down at the drivers side. So...got the tape measure out and measured from floor to underside of top of wheel arch. Results as follows:-

NSR=680
OSR=660
NSF=670
OSF=670

So I was right! Point to note is floor is level and even, car has a full tank of fuel and no one was sitting in it. Thing is this means that with a driver in it it will be even worse!!! Also handling appears ok but haven't really pushed it in the last month, car has brand new tyres on too so can't even compare tyre wear.

Will definitely be contacting the local stealer tomorrow but I'd appreciate it if people could check theirs and give me some feedback. I'm guessing it's either a sagging or snapped spring; which I'm guessing should be covered under warranty

Thanks in advance!

Well it's in with the stealer today, so eagerly await their comments. I've also asked them to look at the corrosion on the 108 alloys. They haven't mentioned any charge for looking at it so hoping there won't be anything to pay regardless of the outcome!

A quick update....BMW reckon all is ok with the suspension...nothing damaged or broken. Furthermore when they measured the Passenger side was lower than the drivers.
So guess what.....when I got home I measured it again myself.....and...yep still 20mm lower on the drivers side.
They've taken photos of alloys and referred to BMW UK...

Sorry to sound sizeist....but can think of nothing worse than a big bird working up a sweat whilst you're trying to enjoy yourself.....imagine having to stop to ask her to re-apply some deodorant.....

Nope...not for me.....lol
