Broken rear coil springs are somewhat common.

By all means check if your spring perch is damaged and the spring is not supported. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you don't find anything wrong with it.
BMW sets the ride height assuming the driver is sitting in the vehicle. This means that the passenger side will be lower than the driver side with nobody in the car. On my 550i M-sport there was almost 1" difference ride height in the rear from passenger to driver side.
Take a measurement on the driver side rear with no occupants, then sit in the car and have your buddy measure again. The ride height will be similar to the passenger side when you're sitting in the car.
