Mine are lower on the passenger side as well. But somewhere I heard E46 are just like that for some reason. Don't know about Altimas though.

not exclusive to the e46..alot of bmws are like that. supposedly the weight of the driver balances the car out.

Yea isnt the battery on the passenger side for BMW's? That is probably the main issue.

I have the same problem as well. but my front passenger side is lowered then the drivers side. its weird because the passenger side is up 3 revolutions and the drivers side is 1. yet, the passenger side sits way lower? can anyone help me out please

Raise the passenger side more.
If you can see under your car, its not low enough ;)

All cars are like that. On my car each corner has different adjustments. It doesn't matter to a degree unless the adjustments from side to side are so far off that one side is more likely to bottom out first.
Best way to get as close as you can would be to break out the measuring tape and adjust the car on the same flat surface.
