F20 Tire Alignment
I am simply wondering if a standard tire alignment of the F20 can be done NOT in our dealership. They charge us ~100 Euro for alignment only. They said only they have the parameters for the alignment.
I asked three shops, all have this alignment machines straight from Germany, but one answered yes, the other one no, yet the other one has to check. What's your experience/opinion. ----------------------------- They also charge us ~ 110 euro for the oil part of the oil change, luckily they allow you to bring your own (my word~) |

The tyre places I visit have F20 specifications. My only issue was that the technician I went to said the M135i was the same as all the other F20 M-sport suspended cars and used these settings. He also said the alignment was essentially correct so made no real changes.
A member on Baby BMW has M135i specific settings which he kindly forwarded to me.

If the caster angle is correct, it explains why the steering feel is rather vague on these cars. Maybe electric steering support has nothing to do with it. More caster angle increases the steering centering torque, making it easier to feel how much grip you have left.

These are the BMW recommended settings for the M135i so yes, stock.

I'd eventually like to find out how to do something similar to my 1er.
