    Question Need help - 95 E36 M3 alignment w/M contours - questions

    I will be taking the M to the alignment shop tomorrow. I recently aquired a set of the original staggered M Contours and installed them on my 1995 M3 COUPE.

    My M3 originally came with non-staggered 10 spokes.

    The car is daily driven (highway miles), currently no track use.

    Here are my questions:

    1) When I take it to the shop, should the car be aligned to 1995 specs, or should it be aligned to the 96-99 specs?

    2) If it is to be aligned to 96-99 specs, what are those specs for a COUPE? (I do have the Bentley manual, but did not look for the specs yet, are the specs in there for all 95-99 M3's?)

    THANKS!!!

    Check the Bentley. OEM specs are in there, p. 320-6. If you look at the specs they are identical for the rear and differ up front in camber and castor, I assume due to the different design 96+ strut hats and lower CA bushings.

    I have the same set up as you Cobra, 95 M3 with staggered contours. Right now I have stock 95 alignment settings (no problems) but that will all change when I get around to doing all my suspension stuff (hopefully soon)
