So your after a full wheel alignment? not just the tracking?

I have a Certificate for 4 wheel alignment machine. But I no longer work in the workshop, so easy to do really just patience and precision.

If you do find somewhere Jay, just make sure they do the camber aswell as just the tracking. Some places say 'yea we do tracking for £30' but not alot of places do the camber too mate.

Yes for a full 4 wheel alignment that sounds spot on it will take between an hour and 2

HB panelcraft in Preston can do it but they charge about £100 + VAT

Did you get a bolt from BMW?

Try here;

http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/

it lists all garages with Hunter machines (which is what you want for a BMW to do it properly). Print off the Discount voucher too for 5% off.
