Alingment california e36, M3 with weights in car!

[Frerecend]

Im looking to see if anyone knows a place that does that measuring the height car etc, called several different recommended spots with the advice is only done with the computer hunter no weights, before I have to go on my last resource the dealer, possibly here there is history of good spots able to do it this way. by the way I am in Los angeles if near better.

Put weights in your trunk and take it in.

It might be a solution, with me adding the weights all around right lol, not sure thought, if it still would change much of anything because I see around that when properly done measuring the wheel fender gap is needed, I remember driving on a 540 97 the handling being good so Im thinking would like feeling some of that

If you're talking about the BMW official alignment procedure I wouldn't bother. It's designed to check alignment with 4 people in the car and a full tank if gas. I think I can safely say that the vast majority of us here don't bother with the counter weights. I'm usually the only one in the car. I can't remember ever having more than one passenger. My alignments come out fine without doing it the official way.

More important to make sure tire pressures are correct during the alignment. I matters. As flyfishvt said, just put the car on the rack and have it aligned. Make damn sure the guy DOES know how to align the rear camber and toe.

I have access to scales for race setups. It is amazing how little the corner weight changes with and without my body weight in the driver's seat.
