First post - first problem - lean

Ben · 27-02-2010, 04:01 PM

Hello

csl seems to have developed a lean at the back end. Dunno if it's a new thing or I just havnt noticed before but the left rear side is sitting a good 40mm higher than the right side. I'm calling service on Monday with warranty but just thought I'd check with you chaps to see if it's a known thing.

Thanks

Broken rear springs are not unknown...

Cheap fix

Very common with many E46s, not just the CSL. While BMW investigate

the rear springs being broken

ask them to check the RTAB (Rear Trailing Arm Bushes), also very common to be worn out prematurely.

If it is down at the rear like the boys said sounds like a spring but i have seen a broken spring and the car sits fine
