What Are FACTORY Alignment Specs for 135i M-sport?

Every thread I dig up is for recommended non-factory specs...



PS: Mods please keep here for now, can move to suspension later but prefer a wider audience since I'm looking at factory, not aftermarket info.

Funny thing you mention this.

I was talking to the BMW dealership and since they got new machines, they do not provide specs on the actual alignment.

So, they would scan a VIN and that would correspond to the exact car. And they just adjust a parameter until it shows green. AKA they do not have any specific knowledge on the exact alignment.

Just interesting to note.

Besides that, can't offer anything besides it's probably 1* of camber up front, perhaps 1/16th of toe in perhaps and 1.5* camber out back with 1/8th?

Just a wild guess

That is interesting. Didn't know it was as "automated" as that is. "Let's change this until it lights up green."

Hm.

If I remember correctly, the toe-in is 9 in the rear, and 7 up front. Rear camber is around -1.5 degrees and maybe -1.3 in the front.
