Slight difference in suspension height (on driver side front corner)

[TigerWuxia]

Since I took the delivery of my R1S a few weeks ago, I felt the front suspension on driver side is slightly lower than others so today I did the measurement and the driver side is indeed about 3/16 inch lower than the passenger side. The difference is consistent in all modes as well. Is this considered within spec? Wonder if any other has similar issue.

That’s actually pretty good. For me it’s been 1-2” full inches. After the second recalibration it seems to have improved. Now it’s no more than a half in off, so far.

In the last couple weeks, I measured suspension height multiple times and found the result varies: sometimes there is nearly no difference but sometimes there is up to 1 inch difference. It looks like suspension kept adjusting by itself but I never used "Auto" mode. I guess slight suspension height difference is normal.

My driver side is lower and you can really tell when it’s in kneel mode. Did recalibration fix the issue for you?

 

[TigerWuxia]

I didn't have any recalibration done since the vehicle seems to constantly adjust the suspension by itself.

how do you recalibrate the suspension?

My driver front side is about .5 inches lower on kneel vs other corners. Probably within spec?

I have the same issue with front driver side being lower.
It self adjusts every morning when I start driving though.

Never buy BMW's lol... the driver's side is always higher when unloaded, so that when a driver is in the car it is neutral. Lots of M3 guys feak out over this lol.

3/16"?!?
That's negligible. Go drive.
