    540i Alignment

    Hi guys,

    I went to get in new tires for my 540i, 245/45/17's Michilen Pilot Sports, the a/s versions and did an alignment as well. I noticed the sheet title for is v8 air suspension 15". Not sure if that matters or not, but was wondering if you guys could check the alignment specs. I'm not too familiar reading the data off of it. I just want make sure my car was aligned properly. Thanks!
