M235i Wheel Alignment Specs
hey guys, need your opinions on this. I've had my 2016 M235i for a week. here's the wheel alignment specs I got today from winter tire installation. as you can see, most of them are off (positive and negative rear camber, really?). my question is: first, shouldn't wheel alignment be checked during PDI? second, what are the proper specs for M235i?
thanks. |

Does this mean that the suspension has to breakin as well? The raw numbers at the bottom, thrust angle and steer ahead were overall in spec. I wonder if it is the machine that is off or the actual allignment. If the alignment is actually off, I might be asking BMW to check mine at the first oil change.

They might be right at the factory and then in being delivered to the country / dealer / you could be sitting on a boat / truck where the straps are tied through the wheels which could have pulled it out.

If this is not from a dealer or a specialist shop, I would question whether the alignment was checked correctly. BMWs have historically needed to be weighted to achieve the correct alignment specs.
But you might as well swing it past the dealer and see what they say.

Camber in the front is not adjustable so can't see how 1 wheel is 0.2 and the other is 0.9. They should be even at around 0.5-0.6
I think that machine is screwed up. Take the car somewhere else to check the alignment again |
