Passenger side lower

Hey folks i have a 2016 750li and the passenger side is lower after the car has been parked at night. Is this what I think it is and how much damage are we talking about?

On mine, it sank down at the front. I think that’s more likely than one side of the car.

In terms of drop, 2mm per 24 hours is the acceptable leakage.

Too many components could cause it. Might, of course, just be leaking struts.

Well if the strut is leaking how likely is it for both front and rear passenger struts to start leaking at the same time?

Where you have parked may not be totally flat and the car is “levelling” so that one side may appear to be lower than the other. Put a spirit level on the car when you park, and do it again when you think it is lower and see what that tells you. Only a thought….

If the whole side of the car sits, then the block valve is lacking. If a single suspension drops, it means that the airbag needs to be replaced (in 95% of cases)

Yes it is a block valve, but without checking the tightness you are not able to correctly diagnose the issu,-(confirm the correctness of the part, contact the shop to confirm with your car vin, always safe for you if they send the wrong part, simply by human error)
