Alignment weighting of truck

[WVMTNBIKER]

Thanks for the great answers and help on my upcoming four wheel alignment today.
So I searched but to no avail, how MUCH weight in the X5 when doing a four wheel alignment? Put "X" amount on each side of vehicle etc. I am about the only person in the vehicle 99% of the time. No rear passengers EVER and my wife in the passenger seat on occasion.

So do I still need to weight the car?
This is an '03 X5 3.0i manual shift.

Your alignment guys should have all the proper weighting based on HIS equipment.

Generally u want a full tank of gas regardless.
The other ballasts - is TBD based in his equipment and what this ballast values are--- some are for preload on front passenger and some equipment are not....

Thanks.

Talked to Bobby Rahal BMW in Pittsburgh this a.m. They said they just put in around 100 lbs in the rear of the truck, or enough to make the vehicle LEVEL, and that brings it into the correct specs.

But I did print out the spec sheet link you included and that should help my alignment guy just in case...

So I have 150 lbs in medical weights with me in the vehicle they can use IF they have to. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks again. Great info as always.

Yes, my gas tank is completely full too. I'll transcribe those Kg weights into U.S. measurements for my alignment guy too.
