If you're referring to the level sensors for the headlights then they're on the LF and RR suspension for US spec.

I have run through tons of suspension pictures and I am 99,99% positive that both ride height sensors are on the left hand side of the car

You're right, they're both on the left side on my Mini.

Thanks for confirming! So upon closer insepction it seems my car does not have the front one. Someone had to remove it (i bought this car used)! I have already ordered this sensor and will put it back in place what I hope will be end of this story.

Thanks everyone for help and your involvement!
