4.8is ride height specs?

anyone know what BMW's specs are for the 4.8is in terms of ride height?
or what your 4.8 measures in at (ground to fender)?

i'm measuring ground to fender lip and it appears that my front suspension is sitting higher by about an inch (about 33" up front and 32" in back).
is this about right?
i feel like the front is sitting higher than it should. or rear lower. looks a little off.
motor running when i measure (did it three times in three different places to make sure it wasn't related to the road surface).

Not sure of the specs but from experience the front of vehicles are usually higher to compensate for the weight of the engine.
