Uneven rear suspension
Turns out front drivers spring was the ‘new’ issue causing rear stance to look off. Full set of eibach springs, front control arms, tie rods etc arrived. Just waiting on my new found friendly mechanic fitting it all.

Uneven rear suspension
Sounds like a good refresh of the suspension
From the silence it seems that nobody has any answer to how BMW supposedly 'set-up' their cars with a deliberate tilt for tubby LHD drivers?
2003 2.5 SE, low miles, Sterling Grey, 108's & Eagles, no stubby here! Unmolested.

Uneven rear suspension
Don't forget that the driver, battery and fuel tank all sit to the right. So that stance, if you're measuring to the mm, won't be exactly the same left to right, especially if the suspension is old and worn.
The fuel tank is split in 2, but the first 1/2 fills up on the driver's side. So there's a lot of weight over to the right.
