good day guys, just wondering if is it normal that the left rear wheel and fender gap is shorter that the other side of the car? im driving a bmw 330e. is it because of the battery weight? please see pics for reference. first pic is right wheen and 2nd pic is the left wheel. thanks in advance

The right side seems raised, rather than the left side low. I'd get that looked at.

Left side spring might have cracked, so its drops off and the other side compensates by sitting too high. Something is broken in there anyway - have gone through a few springs, and with the amount of speed ramps popping up on roads its becoming a more common occurance.
