My two cars are and M5 and a track prepped, modified 996TT.

So maybe the X5 does lumber a bit.

And my wife's X5 has adaptive drive. (A feature that adds far more to handling than screwing around with alignment specs, BTW.. Given your desire to get peak handling, I assume you have that, right? )

[insert comment that 14thbmw has been chasing 'handling issues' with his 2013 in other posts]

However, to moronically repeat the nonsense about 'turn in' and toe, for people that will never need to be concerned about turn in, does members a disservice. ESPECIALLY when people are just repeating what they heard from elsewhere.

Especially when your own set up isnt dialed in, eh?

Set your x5 to mid range of toe, then set it to 0.01-0.02...THEN come on here and talk about how horrific the turn in was at 0,01; how you just couldnt set up right entering the corkscrew or how you track times suck with the lower toe.




OP- you get to chose your specs and tell them where you want it. If you are going to just 'see what they use'...all I can say is good luck.
