I've been looking at dimension diagrams of the Z3, and they all appear to show equal ride height at the front and rear wheels.
Looking at mine there is a difference, the rear is is higher. I've done a quick measurement and the height between the tyre and wheel arch at the rear is about 75mm whereas the front measures 50mm. Am I right in assuming that mine is standard OEM fitment, and the diagrams are not drawn to a proper scale, the alternative being the front has been lowered.

The ride height specs and how to measure them is well written up in the Bentley Z3 service manual. I'm sure that someone will come along with the section already scanned in and post it for you.
