Nit Picking the X3 M - Volume 1 (those with lowering springs)
I've always noticed that the fender gap on my right rear tire is higher then the other 3 corners. Therefore, are any of you guys who have lowering springs OR factory springs too for that matter noticing and/or experiencing this same thing / issue... ?

What lowering springs? If they are non adjustable I'd say there is some sort of install error somewhere. Have you measured the gap on level ground to confirm the difference?

What springs, how much higher? Keep in mind fuel tank placement and fuel level, also be sure ground is level. Maybe try backing vehicle into same position and re measure all 4 corners and see if notice any changes from side to side.

DINAN springs which are pretty much rebranded Eibach's from what I've heard. Had a top notch shop do the work & the alignment specs are dialed in to a razors edge.
Was really hoping that others (weather the X3 M is lowered or not) would have some more concrete feedback on if they're experiencing / noticing this same thing.

Not going to be of much help, but I had this issue on my G20 M340i. Never figured out what the problem was. I noticed the height difference in one corner even on stock suspension. Figured lowering springs would take care of it, but it didn't. Then I bagged it. Lol. Never had that issue again afterwards. But like I said, I never figured out what the actual issue was, if there was even an issue to begin with. I feel like all corners should be equal when the car isn't loaded up with stuff of course.
