X3 M40i factory alignment specs... anyone?

yllwwgn · 02-18-2019, 10:15 PM

Like the title says, I’ve scoured the interwebs and can’t seem to find them at all... anyone know the factory alignment specs for our cars?

Any help is much appreciated 😉!

M adaptive susp or standard M40i susp?

I have the Adaptive, but I doubt the alignment specs are different for either, you think? Either way, if can’t seem to locate them anywhere so if you can share any, please do.

I did a alignment after I lowered my M40i, this is the paper i got.
Before and after the alignment.

Your camber settings front and rear are pretty aggressive. Was it set up for handling?
