F02 stock suspension issue

I have a 2011 750Li x-drive with spring and shock in the front and air bags in the rear, I'm currently having issues with my front right suspension (passenger side) it seems to be lowering and raising when I drive around like it has a mind of its own.

Anyone had this issue or know what it is?

Is that even possible? The front suspension doesn't have bags, so its not height adjustable. Only thing I can think of is that the left rear bag is inflating and deflating and causing a pendulum effect.

I know I can't understand it. But doesn't the car have self leveling?? I can fit three fingers in the wheel on the driver side and only two fingers on the right and sometimes I can feel the car squeeze down on my two fingers cuz it's dropping and sometimes I fit three fingers again

Maybe I have a blown shock?? I'll be going to the dealer today

Only the rear self levels. Thats what the airshocks are for. When you put stuff in the back, they inflate to level the car from the extra weight.

The car has dynamic drive which I think is electronically controls body roll so I think that might be the issue. Car goes in the shop next week so well see
