Suspension height different left to right :(

Any ideas why suspension would sit lower on one side of the car than the other?

I changed from my lowered springs :( to the original springs to be able to fit the new 19s and the rear passenger side has decided it wants to sit on a wonk close to 10mm higher than the right hand rear of the car :headbang:
This was not the case on the standard spring before hand or with the lowered springs for the last few months.
Any ideas would be great!!
I have checked the springs themselves and they look fine.
They are sitting in their mounts fine.
Strut is bolted correctly on both sides.
:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

I will get some pics up of the difference tomorrow morning.
 
Needs to be checked on a level surface however BMW TS states '+/- 10mm each side on ride height'.

The only thing is that it wasn't an issue before!
 
You need to drive it to allow it to settle down. The garage who replaced my springs in September said that it might take at least 30 miles.

Will take it for a good drive tomorrow then and see. Took it for out for about 8 miles this evening stopping occasionally to see if it had dropped at all.
Touch wood it just needs to settle :cry:
