bmw 320d low at the back

[cars1993]

Hi all

Ive bought my self a 320d touring to use for a few months and there's something that's bothering me

it sits low at the back and high at the front. The steering feels light (too light) and feels soggy when going round bends etc

There is no knocking from anywhere

Its a bit strange because the weight is at the front because of the engine??

You checked to see if the previous owner left a dead fat man in the boot?

Good, good - best to start with the obvious stuff.

I seem to remember reading the e46 can suffer from snapped springs and the rear subframe cracking - food for thought?

Failing that it could be that the rear dampers are shot. There's no airbags at the back of the Touring is there? Pretty sure there's not.

Check for broken rear springs. Quite common. My 330 went through a couple in the time I had it (<1 year).
