Suspension height a little off?

Lowering the car I noticed the car sits about 3/4 inch higher in the drivers side front axle..car was at the dealer a few weeks ago and I'm thinking they didn't set the correct values for each corner..
Either that or something is stuck blocking it from coming all the way down?
What do you think?

Same here. When I raise the height, it stays there for days if I let sit. So I don't think its a leak. when at normal height, my passenger front is lower. Same for the lower height.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I would run a calibration using DIS and the set zero point function to set your default ride heights at each corner

Buy a cheap laptop and the software and have it handy. I wish lowering all cars were this easy.

Is this something you just noticed after picking up the car? Have you measured left to right before? Doesn't BMW set suspension so the driver side is little higher than passenger side (higher when driver is not in the car) to compensate for the weight of the driver? But 3/4" seems too high though.
