Thanks all for the suggestions.

The shock absorbers were replaced about 15-20,000 miles ago, along with the upper suspension arms. The garage said that both these and the springs were in good condition.

Ride height is controlled primarlly by the springs, so i don't think it can be due to the shock absorbers. I didn't ask the garage whether they had checked the spring lengths, so that might be a possibility.

I think my next step will be to recheck the clearances with the car on level ground. My drive has a bit of a slope.

Has anyone heard of those differences being the norm on BMWs?
