Is my rear end sagging?

I just picked up my Clubman last Tuesday and it seemed to ride lower in the rear than another Clubman on the lot.
The dimension from the pavement to the underside of the bumper lip is 19.75" (I've added a photo in my gallery.)
Is this normal?
I've got a Clubman S with the 16" tires, 195/55 R16. The tank was 3/4 full and I had only my work boots in the back.

We both have the ClubmanS, same tires and same amount of gas in the tank.

Just over 20.25 was my measurement.

Maybe you got the L.A. lowrider version for free.
That's an extra $2,500.00, homes. Orale!

Dragon,
Thanks for checking. Maybe a 1/2" is no big deal.
I don't want to make a special trip to the service department to check it out.

Post some numbers on the front bumper or wheel well and I'll check mine in the morning.

You're complaining? People pay good money to lower their MINI!

Some people say that I will never get the money out of my MINI that I have put into it. I say, "I get my money's worth everytime I hit the ignition button".
