Right have ta technix coilovers on the car (mx5), all grand with them, have done 1000km since I fitted them and they were second hand when I got them.

Drivers side one seems to be about 12-14mm lower to get the car at the same height and I drove it this morning (first time in 3 weeks) and that side is knocking when you go over small bumps like manhole covers. There seems to be about 1mm of play in the coilover body itself.

Car handles fine etc

Is the coilover just shot?

Sounds like it! The ta's are supposed to be the worst of the ebay cheapo's. These rokkor one's are supposed to be the best but have to be brought from germany! http://www.ebay.de/itm/ROKKOR-Gewindefahrwerk-BMW-1er-E87-5-Turer-116i-130i-116d-123d-TUV-/110772117034?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item19ca885e2a
