Wheel alignment queston? Thoughts

[bosse92m3]

Hi guys, i went and got a wheel alignment today and have taken a picture of the sheet they gave me with all the numbers/ stats. I feel like it may be out still.

How do these numbers look, are they close enough to the proper specs?
Thanks in advance

The numbers on the template resemble M3 competition package.
What suspension do you have?

Imo that is a shit alignment job.
You want left and right toe to be as close to eachother as possible. Rear camber should be even. I prefer less toe than factory specs.

I think I ll have to go get it redone somewhere else, where they actually know what they are doing. This is the second time I ve had issues with alignment at the particular shop. The first time I went there they gave me an alignment for an i8!! Lool won't be going there again

I have attached the TIS alignment specifications for E92 M3.

Total toe = Individual toe x 2.
Something I noticed on the template is the +/- 1.7mm exceeds what should be the target data of +/- 0.8mm

From the results the rear was brilliant before the alignment and after the alignment the Toe and Camber are outside the target.
The front Toe was worse before the alignment and is now within target.

I used 640mm as tyre diameter (225/35 19") to calcualte Total toe of 10' to get Total Toe 1.86mm
Most of the alignment machines use a fixed diameter that is why there can be some small errors in measurement for target values.

Take along the BMW AG specifications for comparison.

Really appreciate all the info ken! I have called the dealership and have informed them of the issues I had with the other shop. I m leaning towards just taking it there and getting stung with the nice cost haha. I guess it will be worth it if they get the job done right!!
I ll keep you up to date
Wish me luck

A member posted some alignment numbers on the E9x side of the forum which were good results. Values are completely different for M3 so don't consider the values. I don't have any local knowledge of alignment specialists for Vic but maybe consider the business mentioned in the thread as an alternative.
