Spring Problem?

Hi All. jacked the car up to change my front brake pads after managing to source some wood to increase the height so I could get the jack under the side. Also took off the side skirt and found lots of silt / dirt is this common? After returning the car to the ground I noticed the distance from the top of the rear tyre on the passenger side is a lot lower than that of the drivers side. Could this mean one of my springs has given up the ghost? If so how much is it likely to cost?? :(
 
Sounds like it has snapped a spring to me. How old is the car and how many miles has it done? If you're recently out of warranty or only on low miles BMW may do it out of goodwill. I referred them to this forum and showed them how many people had springs changed FOC.

Cheers
