If your parking brake had been set for the wheels change and you just lowered the car and observe the "problem", it happens. So, just move the car by 1 meter and make sure the verification occurs on a flat surface. Enjoy

Actually it was like that before you put the wheels on as well. Take a gander at any e60 and you will see this. BMW is just compensating for the fact that there is normally only a driver in the car.

Right side looking from the rear or the front? From the rear, the right side is lower also because of the gas tank and battery.

passenger side is lower, that's normal on any spring. testified by many members here, it's always lower on the passenger side.

no offense, but its noticeable no matter what springs the e60 is on. if not by the naked eye, then by finger measurement.
