Ride Height
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW Z8, 2002 BMW Z8, 2001 BMW Z8, and 2000 BMW Z8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Measure actual ride height from wheel-house lower edge to rim flange at height of wheel carrier. Determine average value of each wheel after lowering and lifting vehicle body and then average value of axle from these values. Nominal value of ride height is 25 inches (633 mm). Deviation should be no more than .4 inches (10 mm). Replace coil spring to return vehicle to nominal value. See COIL SPRING under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
