I have a 2007 335i coupe driver side is about a 1/4 inch higher than passenger side. Has anyone came up with a way to level it. Im thinking coilovers but was wondering if there was a cheaper way please let me know what you might have come up with.

You might have a broken spring on the right side, or a broken/missing spring spacer/seat.

I read somewhere that this is normal, to compensate for the weight of the driver.

Don't know if it is true or not. Do you actually notice that 1/4 inch without measuring it?

I really dont notice the difference now but will when i lower it. Also someone said maybe a spring or pad but its the same front and back 1/4" higher on driver side.

It's normal. They are biased that way for when you drive w/o passenger at limits of performance. BMW has been doing this for years.
