Most alignment machine has the spec for the standard sedan or sport model for each of the Series/Model range. Also, more advanced version also allow one to select the size of the rim for proper alignment.

2 cents & Jipster,These parameters apply to ALL E30s with the exception of the legendary M3.Do bear in mind that if your camber values don't match up there's nothing you can do.......you cannot adjust for camber on the e30s unless..............hehehehe :wacko:

Unless you hydraulically jack it right?

That's something that you definately DO NOT want to do! You will risk collapsing your strut towers or deforming your suspension arms.

 

[jarance]
