For Z3 no extra loading is necessary. Open hood, insert measuring tool (31 3 010) in bore in wheel arch and measure distance "A" from bottom center flange of wheel rim (2) to Measuring Tool (1). See Fig 1. Determine average value of each wheel after lifting and lowering vehicle body and then average value of axle from these values. Ride height measurement must be within .04" (10 mm) of each side. For specifications, see RIDE HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS . If ride height is not correct, see appropriate FRONT article.
