What is causing the drop ?

Exactly, what? It can only be the springs or/and the shocks or the points at which they attach. I have asked if they have looked at the subframe as I am not sure if that would cause it.
I am awaiting their advice in order that I can take it up with BMW direct. I have asked them what BMW's tolerances are for differences from one side to the other. Ridiculous.

Well 10mm is the acceptable difference. Maybe it has settled but I know it will only be temporary so will have to have it out with them.

I would expect that on the left side it sits a bit higher than the right.
I think mine does that.
The reason is that the CSL is balanced to be LHD with a driver inside and then the weight distribution is perfect.
So when the driver is out of the car it's a bit heavier on the right side.
Now take into account that the RHD cars are heavier on the right side (yes your balance is a bit shit
) and there you go the 10mm tolerance.
Can you measure the distance between center of wheel to wheel arch for each side ?Comment

I will do when I get home on Monday. All sorts of tape measures, plumb lines and micrometers will be out.
