Just parked our new 1990 745 GL and our 1991 745 Turbo next to each other in the driveway. The 1991 Turbo is sitting with its front bumper one inch higher than the 1990. But the 1991's back bumper is sitting one inch lower than the 1990.

The only causes for this that I can think of are: that the 1991 has just over 3/4 tank of gas, the 1990 is below 1/4 tank; the 1991 has the third seat in the back, the 1990 does not; and the 1991 has a real spare tire in the spare well, the 1990 has a mickey-mouse (temp) spare (although the 1991's spare is on a Draco alloy wheel, which might lower its weight enough to equal the temp spare in the 1990).

Does this seem right for these two cars, or should I start looking at springs, etc.?
