Re: Hello from Newbie
Got actual picture of your car to share? maybe the car is really lopsided or maybe you need to straighten your head more.

my 2 cents; yea, i kpkb here; They market the bmw pleasure points with pride; so my pleasure point is to know that I am not owning a lopsided or asymmetical ride that is so visually obvious to my naked eye (without tilting my head); that's my expectation, and meeting expectation means quality, and getting something not of quality negates the pleasure point as an unhappy customer. yes the car drives ok, so? That had never been my problem, the problem is with the product which they cannot fixed to my expectation/quality and i have the rights to disagree or reject the so call recommended specification of within tolerance that now by specification it is no longer a problem to them.
I am not unrealistic to demand 0mm difference. I am ok when with zero passengers no driver in the car, the asymmetrical issue is not so obvious to the naked eye (without tilting my head; some experts may ask me to do that), but it's not. if the good intend is to compensate for RHD drive, then driver side should be higher instead? without driver, but this case driver side is already lower even without driver inside, then now point to the original LHD design when they decide to make RHD car, if so, then they have not fixed the problem, and I have a problem, but by their definition of recommended specs it's now not a problem; then as I had mentioned, I have the rights to disagree or reject the recommended specs, going in circle ... consumer end up one way ....

Re: Hello from Newbie
hmm....sounds like BMW will not be able to fix the issue...maybe you can either get a stiffer, higher suspension on the drivers side (thinking X5 or X6)..... or make sure you always have a front passenger that is about 50-100kg heavier than you so as to even out the weight distribution.

Re: Hello from Newbie
thanks for the suggestion; the issue is, with an empty car, it's already like that.
If the empty car is even from start, and then when ah pui and ah san goes in (sit anywhere they like) and end up one side due to ah pui, then i have nothing to say.

Re: Hello from Newbie
One Raffles Place ah.
no wonder, my friend is in the midst of doing a survey for the owners. UOE is claiming that the building seems a bit loopsided.
wouldn't be free this two month to visit workshop as I need to help out measuring the building.
will drop by the carpark if time allow to look out for F10s.

Re: Hello from Newbie
when i look at mine with my naked eye i find so leh ... ; maybe i cock eye. but after looking at other same make/model, i confirm not cock eye. The last time my sales went around with me measuring other same make/model at friend's place, no such problem (2-3mm niah). I see already straight away tell my sales this one no prob with my eyes, the measurement confirmed it. Heng ah, my eyes are ok.
