Sagging rear springs seem to be a problem afflicting all US e23's to some degree. Is this associated to the heavy US bumpers hanging at the furthest points of the body? I know the fronts would be way more rugged and maybe not as easily affected.

Thanks,

Aaron,
My 84 733i has the same "sag". It also results in wearing the inside of the rear tires but my alignment guy tells me it is actually the control arm bushings. I'm going to replace them and we'll see...KD
