    Red loc-tite does the same thing.

      He is a Master Tech for BMW in Lubbock, Texas. He has been working on BMWs since the E30 came out. He is comming to ATL for Diesel training at the end of this month. I guess for the D cars comming out.

          The guy that has never been out of the Dealer Bays. Flag time, and never a moment with an Independent means he has never seen anything in any box/bag other that OE, or, sometimes maybe some Dealer Installed Dinan bits.

              in the future you should head to Gran tourismo east. Jeff is the best alignment guy in the ATL. I think i paid 80 bucks or so to have my e30 aligned.

              The only time i see a dealer is to get bmw oil for my m3.

              just my 2C

                  When they do their alignments do they weight the car like the dealership?

                        it doesn't matter on an e30, all you can adjust is the front toe anyway, that doesn't change with weight

                        you're getting ripped off at the dealer

                          Get a lifetime alignment at discount tire. I've gotten 3 alignments so far in the last two years. Every time i change someting, tie rods, cabs, etc I just bring it in for my free alignment.

                            unless u have after market camber plates.

                            if u don't then any alignment shop is just as good.

                              Just call Patrick at BMA and ask what he recommends. Tell him you are from R3V and he will help you out a bit on $$ too. He is an honest guy and always tells me what is quality and what it not. He knows his stuff and sees all the returns. He'll be honest and not always sell you the more expensive. Just the quality.
