BMW dealers usually just get it somewhere in their wide spe range...AND they'll try and talk you out of whatever you tell them.

They'll size you up and spin a story: "Oh the tech doesnt want any less ___ as that will hurt your turn in and handling" or "For safety BMW recommended ___" or "Ride comfort can be affected with ___"
Unless you have a BMW dealer that allows you to chat with the mechanic doing the work and can ensure he will set it where you want it, I recommend a tire/alignment store.

I'm with u on this. Just done my alignment yesterday from a reputed alignment shop in sydney. When I had a look at report it had a little more camber on one side and the guy said when I sit in the car that would compensate - ???
I tried to tell them where I want and that's the time they get angry at me. Can't win either way. This is my 3rd alignment attempt within 2 months as the previous shops didn't do a good job.
