I'm sure Firestone has equipment to do alignment but I think what tmv is saying is that he brings the weights with him to Firestone so they can do a true BMW alignment procedure by the book.

Correct. I pre-load my bimmer and tell the technician to set it to my spec.

Hopefully I am past the frequent alignments but good to know.

I am going this weekend to have firestone give me the lifetime alignment and bringing my weights...

And yes, he agreed to align it to MY specifications!

^Care to share your spec?

I have everything set per BMW spec except toe settings as close to 0 as possible.

I'm going to stop by and talk to them. There is a new location nearby. I tried other alignment shops in the area, they all said they could only do the front so I figured Firestone was out of the question--just goes to show that it is never good to assume.
