i have a 2001 540i with the sport package. i recently brought my car into the dealership because i had some suspension issues. they replaced the swaybar and control front control arms and bushings. My front end is now about 4 inches higher than it was before. The car does not handle the same(responsiveness). Will this change over time or should i go back to the dealership.

Thanks

The new parts may wear in, but I think I'd have them take a look

A good "shake-down" run 50 to 100 miles will help settle front end (springs & struts) You should know by then if it needs looking at by the dealer again.

Is there a difference between the sport package suspension and the regular 540i suspension. I got both of my front control arms done as well as my bushings. My rear tires are about 1 inch from outside of wheel well height. while my front tires are about 4 inches from outside of wheel well height. Is this correct.

Thanks,

Tim

These few posts were added to the end of another related thread (someone else's problem), so I split them off and created a new thread.
