E36 owners

OK so 36's "have a 'natural' lean when driverless and looked at from behind"

Shouldn't that mean when the driver isn;t in it the drivers side it highier.?

My drivers side is lower, just wondering what side your cars leans to

Thanks

Most cars tend to do this after a while. It's the side that naturally gets the most use of you getting in and out, bouncing the springs. It's the side that when you're driving all the time is underload... I mean hell, if I was alive since in the 90's and had a 90kg weight jumping on me everyday I'm sure I'd get my lean on.

Your thoughts?

Apparently they come from the factor with a natural lean. and i have New Springs

I've got new springs too but don't have new shocks... Granted the lean has been lessened due to the new Jamex's.

on an empty tank from memory i have a 15mm difference at the back, and i think on a full tank it goes to a 20mm difference. (i'll have to check on measurements)

Looks kinda crap, especially as u lower the car and notice the difference more.

they all do..its the lowering and low-pro tyres that makes it more noticeable

live with it or replace the shocks with adjustables

i know they all have it, i just wanted to know which side of ur cars where lower.

cause i thought the passenger side should be lower.

Yeah, E36 most definitely has a natural lean to the drivers side.

When i was checked the boot around the shockies on the left rear , i could fit my fist and a bit between the guard and the tyre, and with the right rear guard and tires, i couldn't even fit the digi cam under to take a photo of the cracked boot.

Always wondered why that was, havew never heard of a natural lean before.
