Is all Beemers slanted?

[haffeel]

Every day when I look at my E30 325i from the front, I always had this feeling, that the car is slanting to one side. I just told myself, it could be the ground I parked not flat.

Yesterday I took my car for wheel alignment, the mechanic told me, Sir your car is slanting on the driver side about ONE INCH lower than the passenger side.

So we took a measuring tape and check the hight to the wheel arch. True enough the car is slanting. The fllow told me to check the spring and shocks.

I took the car to my favourite work shop and the mechanic told me, All Beemers slanting at driver side, even the 7 series have that problem.

Can I correct this? If I chose to ignore will there be any impact?


Any suggestion forumers !

TQ/Cheers

I noticed that! but always put it down to the underinflated tyres.

Just get a MASSIVE fat misses. That will solve it! (not speaking from experience)

Mines about an inch down on the drivers side ! I assumed it is knackered spring and intend to replace them and all bushes etc. Spring doesn't appear to be broken. Hopefully going to Lakeside later so will compare with other cars.

none of mine have ever slanted to one side
only on the rear once when i had a shagged top mount

Mine doesnt slant to any side, its level.

And i'd imagine thats how there supposed to be!

My 320 was a bit slanted on the drivers side (1/2 inch), fitted eibach springs and gas shocks and she's now perfectly level.

Sagging springs ?

So sagging springs seems to be the culprit.

Damn! Same here! Although I've not got round to actually measuring it yet.
