My 335i recently hit a pothole and cracked a rim and busted a tire, I had an aftermarket warranty on it and took it to a shop to get replaced. And it wasnt having this issue before i took it in, but when I got the car back, something immediately felt off and I noticed the rear wheels aren’t making proper contact with the road. The right rear (the one that got replaced) is touching the ground at a weird angle almost like its actually hitting the ground first. And you can tell by looking at it from the back that the right pass side of the car is sitting higher because of that wheel. Also on level ground theres a bigger gap in the pass rear wheel well now. I’ve had it aligned, looked at it myself, had it taken to 3 different euro shops and none can find the issue. Its annoying because the car cant put its power down at all and the handling’s so bad because of it, its a danger to drive, especially in the snow and it being rear wheel drive already. I need suggestions on what would even cause this. Never experienced something like this and id hate to start guessing suspension components blindly.
Have one of those shops drive with you, it's hard to believe that the alignment would not have picked something up id

Any way before my key board went wacko, it's hard to believe that the alignment print did not not show a problem. I mean it was a pretty hard hit to do that damage. How good are these folks at there alignments. You could also get it back up in the air and start checking with a tape measure.
Make sure the spring on that side is seated correctly.
pls add model and built year to your profile. I assume E90, moved to E90 forumMy Cars: Bmw 335i
