So, the 1/4" rake is measured from the difference between the front and rear jack point. This is Bimmerworlds suggested method for measuring rake on the E9X chassis.

With that being said the front and rear ground to fender measurements for our car are as follows:
Front: 635mm
Rear: 599mm

Ground to fender are somewhat misleading, as these will change depending on the diameter of tire you are running. The above numbers are with the car running 275/35R18 all around. If for example you were running 275/40R18, these ride height numbers would be higher, but rake would still remain the same. Thus, centre of wheel to fender is a better method as it ignores differences in overall tire diameter.

Hope that helps.
