    I have recently bought a 318I lowered on coilovers. I jacked it up to fix the shift rod and noticed that the left front tire is rubbing the coilover and is eating the tire away. the right side camber is fine and does not rub I tried finding a video or forum on ways to fix this but could not come up with a solution. any help is appreciated, thank you.

    Unless you've got two different front wheels or different sized tyres you probably have a bent coilover.

    Someone's possibly removed the helper spring on the drivers side, but it sounds like some things bent.

    If someone's smacked the car hard enough to bend the coilover they've probably bent up a load of other shit on that same side.

    Doubtful.
    Bottom arm has probably been replaced.

    The fender has a small dent but I took the wheel off and everything looks fine including the coilover would it be easily noticeable? This weekend I am going to take both sides off and compare the two
