So I'm staring at my car out of my office window right now and notice that my car in the rear is ever so slightly leaning right in the back. I went outside being the paranoid SOB that I am with my car and noticed that when I put my hand between the gap of the rear fender and top of the tire there is about a 1/2" difference compared to the left and right, (right side sitting lower).
Think it is the ground or the spring is bad? These springs are less than 1 year old. Could that be possible with a quality product like H&R? Or could this be my Koni shocks?

I think the first parking spot was "more level". When unoccupied, your car should appear a little high on the front left corner. BMW sets up the suspension to accommodate the driver's weight. Part of getting the handling the Ultimate Driving Machine is known for...
