Surprised to that, they’ve done several lowered 3 series that are at least as low as your ///3.

Ya I know techs at Towne BMW and they definitely do lowered cars as long as it fits on the rack. You could also take up Josh’s offer of going hand in hand to Licatas haha.

Call back and ask for Adam. I used to work there and did alignments on several lowered cars. As long they can get it on the rack, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Ya my alignment is great. Although with the weather I haven’t been driving my car too much lately, which sucks. I love driving this thing.

I need to get an alignment on an e39 m5, stock ride height. I just called Towne, the first person I spoke with said $130, I asked if since I have an account with them (I have a dealership/shop just no alignment rack) I also received any help on service, so he transferred me to someone else. And the second guy said $179.95. And they’re not taking appointments until Tuesday.

What were the results of this? Chris where did you go? I seem to remember something about Fox.

Who is this and where does he work?

Its times like these that make me not miss riding around on BCs in the old corolla. Good luck walker, let us know what you end up doing! Sounds like Licatas may be you’re best/easiest best.

I took my lowered 328i to Southtown Tire in Colden a few weeks ago and it turned out fine. They got it as close as they could (ran out of camber adjustment on the stock towers), straightened the wheel out and corrected the toe issue.

They didnt’ bat an eye when I asked if they could align an lowered BMW.

All you need is 2 people and a tape measure. Works 100% of the time.
