No, it does not, because the car leaning thing is a MYTH. Totally unfounded.

sag from WEAR.

grow up, man. there is no need for all your bull****!
i said, that if the car leans to the left or to the right, its nothing to do with the drivers position or batteries position, its because suspention on that side is weaker than in other side, and MOSTLY it will show up more than normally, when weight is added on the car!

It's a myth. How does BMW know if you weigh 110lbs or 300lbs. That would need, different-different springs depending on your weight... If that makes sense.

Your car is what 13-19 years old.... Your springs are clapped out. Plain and simple.

Huumm...just check with Bentley manual, the ride High measured from center rear arch ( rear fender lips) to the bottom side of rim and found 2cm deviation between left and right .
my old lady has Right driver side anyway...seems I need to check the Coil Spring as mentioned in Bentley....any one know what is the length of unloaded spring, will try to measure it

Yes. It does.

Driver position IS the CAUSE.

OP drives on right side.
Right side SAGS 2cm.
You follow?
RIGHT side & RIGHT SAG


Is that a comma at the end of your SENTENCE?

If 2cm really irritates you that badly.
Take the springs from the RIGHT, and put them on the LEFT.
Take the springs from the LEFT, and put them on the RIGHT.

Drive like normal.
In about 2 weeks your 2cm difference will disappear.

Cheers!

Hmm..

I concur..

Yes.
Its normal for the car to lean.

Its cause is from DRIVER WEIGHT.

Jeezus..

Does anyone have a picture of the posterior of THEIR RHD E36 from a wrong lane country??
Not pics scoured from the 'net..

WE CAN LOOK AT THEM SIDE BY SIDE in comparison to end this nonsense.

So Ze German, where is the battery located ? I also have a slight lean to the left - maybe previous owner had a fat wife !

exactly.
this is suspension not the driver what leans the car to one side.

especialy for our, hero, bmw-mania, here u go, a pict of my own car, rhd leaning to the left, almoust full tank+ 2 kids on the back, taken aprox 1 y ago. at that point all 4 springs was about 1y old, all front suspention was sorted out from the dealer.
are u still thinking, that driver is the problem?
ps, the text is all urs, run the spelling check

My car has never leaned to either side, because it was not designed to do so.

this is the point, car leans to one or other side, becouse of worn suspension/ on that side, it dosnt meant that whole side is bad but some is a bit more worn than in other side. end of story. thats what im saying all day long, its just a bit worn suspension what couses this. and early sign is, when car is loaded and thats it
p.s. like that ur car has straight lines

Open Hood.
Open Trunk.

Take a guess.

Sorry to revive this old thread but I have owned 3 e36s and every one had at least one broken rear spring when I bought them. One with only 89K miles had both broken. That one was actually not noticable since it sat level. The others sat lower on the side with the broken spring. Not sure if this is a very common problem or if I am just unlucky.

The Bentley manual goes into detail on ride height and the specs it puts forth are the same for both sides. The e36 wasn't designed to lean although I was told that the battery being on the right rear is supposed to partially offset the weight of the driver.
