I hate to threadjack, but I've got a similar, but different situation.
13 x5 3.5i with M Sport and Active Steering I recently installed DW's on my car and had it immediately re-aligned. See the results below. The toe on the rear is a bit high compared to whats recommended here, but my bigger problem is the car pulls to the right "moderately." Any suggestions on what to change to fix the problem? On a site note, my impressions thus far are similar to most, where increased ride quality is traded off for looser steering. Thanks in advance. Last edited by badassfajita; 09-16-2015 at 01:27 PM.. |

Higher toe-in on rears is not significant, but don't go over 0.04 each. Keep camber in the middle and symmetrical. PS What kind of shop did you go to? Equipment used? |

Can you give us the shop name? Do they have nationwide locations?

I've read so much contradictory information on the web in various forums about whether aligning with active steering is any different than a standard one--not sure what to believe. |

Did you look it up? And compare to what your shop did?

AFAIK, vehicles with active steering *may* require recalibrating the steering angle sensor post-alignment, for which the dealerships charge about 1hr of labor, regardless of whether recalibration is required. An active steering fault will be thrown if recalibration is needed. FWIW, I got an alignment done, without need for recalibration (mine has AS as well).

Those of you running the non-RFT's, I am assuming you have a spare? I have the 3rd row so no spare - still considering going with the all seasons because I don't want to deal with another set of wheels tires.
Has anyone dealt with BMW roadside assistance? Would they help me out if I got a flat? EDIT: They do mention flats in the brochure

I'm switching to DWS and ordered a spare from bimmerzone. $300 bucks is worth it especially for long trips in this big country of ours.

Here you go:
http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-E70-KIT.html Ordered one with the jack kit and tote. I don't have the 3rd row seat so I'm planning to store it in the compartment under the trunk floor. |

Hi guys.
I just got the alignment done at the BMW dealer and the report I received is below. I'd appreciate any opinions/issues/suggestions? Last edited by BAKZOOM; 10-08-2015 at 12:41 PM.. |

I believe toe is too high. You'll want that as close to zero, but not zero (0.02 is ideal, according to experts at bimmerfest).
