My height settings have changed? Car seems higher than before.

[nwills]

I may be losing my mind but I'm pretty sure that somehow my car is sitting higher than it was. In the low setting the car looks higher than before. In the low setting the tires were very close to the fenders and the gap was barely visible. I had the WMA5 and WMA7 update done a while ago and everything has been fine aside from this height issue which very well could be in my head.

Has anyone else experienced this or am I just imagining it?

I may simply measure my height and compare it to another vehicle in the same setting and put this to rest but in the meanwhile I thought I'd bring it up here.

I feel the same way about my Panamera sometimes. I think there’s slight variability with the air suspension within the same mode - sometimes it will auto-adjust (self level?) as you’re sitting at a traffic light without the driver selecting a suspension height in the PCM, so there must be variations in the wheel gap depending when you see it.

Also it will drop itself after parking to level off, especially if the car was loaded with a ton of weight (people and/or cargo).

Not saying this is the answer, just one POV.

Just had my update last week and took 5 days. Failed phase 2 twice and phase 5 twice but ultimately got finished on a Friday and they had to update my charger. That said, overall car is running great. 2 noticeable changes are 1) did seem to sit higher in normal mode so have lowered it to low and lower mode to determine which is better for my style of driving in normal mode. And 2) my battery is running about 10-15 degrees cooler than before update. 66f versus 77-85f. Just thought I would put that out there. Otherwise braking, autoregen, pcm, charging, brakes, all else seems to running really smooth. Car is just as good as the day I bought it and have put 2500 miles on it with hard driving.

After looking at the owners manual, it looks like there is some complexity involved in the PASM system. Self leveling amongst other functions. I get a feeling the PASM system has slightly changed it's low setting somehow. Possibly a different read on the vehicle load calibration or other. I'll bring it up with my dealer when I take the car in to solution my FOD issues.
