Relative to the height adjusters, my dealer said to use a 1 inch block on top of the tire and adjust the height so the block just fits between the top of tire and the top of the wheel well. You will have to take the tire off and on until you get it right. Don't forget to roll the car to level the tires after lowering back to the ground. Maybe even bounce it a few times It took severrel tries to get it right. You will probably have to do it again after the springs settle a bit. Also makes for a nice look.

Second, I got alignment specs in my manual but....I do not believe them. I seem to remember they were at or about Zero on camber.

Also, in talking to some BMW owners, BMW does their alignment with weight in the car to simulate the driver and ?passanger?. There is no mention of this in the manual. Can Tony please comment on this? Are the specs compensated for no extra people weight added?
