    other site's and our local mech also says the same thing .....

    It will not effect any mechanical systems at all.
    I've read that a couple times, but in the OP's case, that doesn't make sense. IF BMW designed them that way for that reason, then why didn't they take into account RHD?

      These all makes sense but for some reason my friend who used to work with bmw says that it is their design with no further explanation.

      The worst part is what about this with right hand drive like what I have! It's the made itself no matter right or left hand that don't apply .....

      Weird thinking, problem is whether you adjust from coilover, both will not still balance once driver sits on it .....

        Lonestar22--- is you e90 a left or right hand drive? are you with coilovers? had you receive any advice by your local mechanic who installed your ride? do you have plans balancing them again?

          I wouldn't worry that much about it...really. Either make the ride height level or adjust your coils so the right sits slightly higher than the left. Either way you'll be fine.
