Alignment same for all F10?

f10inSD · 12-26-2015, 07:04 PM

Hey guys...

I got an alignment today for my car since there was different camber on my rear wheels. This made the wheels look more uneven after I installed my new spacers.

They did a great job fixing the camber but I noticed the spec sheet said "2012 BMW 535 non sport suspension". This is the setting selected by the tech and used for the alignment. Would the machine have a different set of numbers for my car which is actually a 2013 msport/sport suspension with 19in wheels?

I would think so? Give them a call just to be safe

Yah. I made an appt to go back Tuesday morning. I'll report back what I find out.

@f10inSD as long it is the same chassis, the alignment specs are the same.

Pretty sure F10 OEM Cambers are fixed and cannot be adjusted. Are you sure the workshop adjusted the camber and charged you?

Rear camber can be adjusted, front camber requires a different top wishbone with a 30" + or - tolerance.

I would expect the alignment specs to change with ride height. If for no reason other than some settings cannot be adjusted and will change with suspension compression, so a new "OK" range would need to be set.

If your F10 has "non-sport" ride height the. You are probably fine. If it doesn't then you should inquire.

On Hunter/KDS alignment machines, there are different profiles for M sport and non-M sport suspension cars.

Different ride height would alter the alignment specs.
