My right side seems to sit low
I have noticed that when I park my car for a day or so the right side seems to get lower and lower until the back is almost covering all of the tire. Once I start the car it seems to go back up. I have no warning lights on but just curious if any one has seen this. I have the car in the sport 2 setting 90% of the time.

this happened to me 3 times and I think much worse than the sounds of what is happening to you know. Both sides about 6 months into ownership literally went down about 4-6 inches -- I could not see any of the top of the rubber on the wheel. It would happen when the car sat for 2+ hours but typically overnight.
It looked ghetto pimped embarassing. Luckily I would just unlock the door and the car would pump it self up. I got it fixed under warranty. Happened again...fixed under warranty.
At 27K miles happened AGAIN. And I got it fixed by warranty. I only had the lowering mod for the last 3k miles. The last time it only effected the right rear tire.
Look at my icon to the upper left. This was the last time. It was down about 3-4 inches...looks silly

2005 Brilliant Silver E55
That happened to me in my CL55 with ABC so I don't think it's an Airmatic only problem. A neighbor of mine has a E500 and sometimes his driver side looks slammed.
I can't remember but the dealer actually told me it was normal and had a weird explanation.

MBWorld Fanatic!
My E55 is in the garage and it does the same thing... next time you goto an MB dealership, take a look at the airmatic cars - S-classes etc... a LOT of them do this. Some of them do look ridiculous.
