Bmwe5320023.0 is on a distinguished road
Finally put everything together and now having issues with alignment.
Can't seem to get everything right...

1st alignment was okay, seemed to drive fine but lasted for 100km, then came out of alignment.
Vehicle could not drive faster than 60kmph on snow, was really bad, sliding left and right.


Today 2nd alignment was finished. Seemed perfect at first, steering wheel perfectly even, driving straight.
Within half an hour of driving, heard some noise, and the steering wheel now has to be turned slightly to the left for the vehicle to drive straight.
I'm not sure if the alignment is ok or not. If I'm driving around 100kmph, the vehicle is drifting left and right randomly, but not as bad as before. I compared the same terrain and speed with other vehicles, and X5 is the only one with this issue.

Called the shop back and spoke to them. Apparently the tech who aligned the vehicle mentioned that the camber/toe kit on the rear was of inferior quality. Not saying anything definitive, but he said it's possible that the kit is responsible for alignment issues.

I now wish I got the hardrace kit instead lol. Tried saving money with silver project, and maybe it's gonna cost me a lot more than had I gone with hardrace. Too early to say for sure
