This is completely crazy, I thought the E93 damper was defective, I bought another 2 E93EDC dampers and exactly the same, one is like the E92 the other is shorter like the 1M.
Is intentionally by BMW to make different length dampers L/R???? I could not get my hands on rear E93EDC dampers to compare....
Maybe it doesn't matter since once the shock/spring are put together and the car is being supported by them... they will squash down somewhat. It could be a sort of pre-loading of the suspension. In the same way you setup coil overs to take of account of the driver's weight. ?
