DO NOT use a BMW dealer for alignment.


I saw a blowhardy comment about how 'only BMW dealers know how to align BMWs'. Nothing is further from the truth.


I started a thread on alignments: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=668729


If you go to a dealer they will set it mid spec, and tell you 'thats just the way BMWs are, its _______".... and in the blank, insert: stiff suspension; performance; racing history; handling; blah blah blah


Set your toe to 0.01 to 0.02 each wheel
Set camber to mid spec. You can tolerate a bit more camber up fron with the 50.


Set your inflation pressure up front a bit higher than the door- like 2psi more.


Thats it.
