i noticed when i lowered my 325i that the passanger side sat alittle bit lower than the driver side...like the wheels were alittle farther up inside the fenders on that side...more noticable in the rear...and now ive got my second e36 and its already lowered and its the same way...its not a HUGE diference but definately a difference, maybe about a cm or so..., and now that ive noticed a consistancy on both cars i figure there must be some explanation...a friend suggested that maybe the gas tank is more to that side as thats the side the gas cap is on but i pretty much desmissed that possibility because i know how much engineering goes into these cars and how well balanced they are so for it 2 weigh substantially more on one side when the tank is full is kind of ubsurd...the only logical explanation i can think of (which also may be rediculous) is that maybe due to the torque of the driveshaft maybe its 2 counter balance it so when it drives it evens out...i duno.. has anyone else noticed this on lowered cars? and can anyone give me the actual reason it is the way it is? thanx guys.
