The rest I am fine using std spec.) Present it to them when making the appointment. If they balk say good-beye! and find a better shop.
If no recent suspension work was done, be ready to swap some control arms, ball-joints or the inner bushings in the lower CA.

I searched the E70 forum for "ARD" and after 13 pages I didn't find any definitive alignment thread.
Only info I found was...
Front:
Camber is nice and balanced up front, just a smidge neg which is fine
But toe should be 0.02 with a total toe of 0.04
Your 'steer ahead' will be 0.00 when the toes are balanced
Rear:
Id like the left rear dropped to -1.4
and both toes to 0.02 as the fronts

Would you happen to have a link to the post you were talking about?
