Sears... $165.00 for a 3 year unlimited alignment. Better than $400.00 at BMW. They have the ability to to BMW's with ARS and backup camera.

Firestone couldn't even do a proper alignment right with my Acura MDX. Would not take my BMW there for anything. When i got my Acura done recently it came back unaligned with the additional bonus of having the steering off center (which was fine before).

So I had to burn another few hours on a Saturday to get it fixed. Did not give me a lot of faith in them after the experience. Maybe just one off bad luck, or maybe this is how it goes at Firestone.

The problem is that a shop has to spend like 10 grand on the accessories to adjust the backup camera, ARS suspension AND the alignment on BMWs. Not many places spent the money to get this done. But Sears does have it.

Hi does anyone have the official BMW alignment specs for 535 se. I've seen some different ones I just had mine set up and they set the front toe to 15.5" . I thought the spec was 0.6" to 14"

just found this thread googling I wanted to get the firestone lifetime and called to see if they had time to do it and was told they can only do the tow cause they don't have the tool to do the camber. looks like i gotta lube up my butt and go to the dealship.

i have an f80 m3 so I'm not sure ifs its the same for the 5 series.
