2008 E93 Rear Suspension Height

Need your feedback on the rear suspension height on 2008 E93 with 35K miles. To me it looks a tad lower. Any thoughts/insights? What would be the recommended fix? Thank you!

I have 2009 e93 with 55K ish miles (picked up at around 52K miles) and your rear height looks pretty close to mine. You may already know but the fronts have more gap vs. the rears. As a reference, first three pics from when I picked up the M on the same wheel with your tire spec except for the width being 275. The last pic is with 18" apex wheels with 3mm spacers to fill the gap little more. If you'd like, I can dig for more close up pics and post them.

Thanks for sharing. Your rear suspension height is similar to mine.

I am looking to raise it by an inch. I maybe wrong, but I think I saw it somewhere where the person used a thicker lower shock mount or spring shim. Any ideas? Thanks.
