Anyone have any data on the stock ride height for our cars? I know the self leveling confounds this measurement, but I assume it attempts to maintain a certain height. I have an aftermarket setup on my car installed by the PO, including Bilsteins with adjustable spring perches in the back. I believe the front springs are M535i springs but not sure. I am wondering if my front/back heights and/or the overall attitude (tilt) of the car is similar to stock. The car sits very level versus what would appear to be a slightly higher rear end in pictures I've seen, I don't have any other examples here to compare with. I also have a good deal of negative camber in the back wheels, leading me to believe it is lower than stock, at least in the rear. Anyone have any info, or measurements from hub center to wheel arch?
Thanks.
