M3 control arm alignment

[BMWRR]

What are you guys doing for alignments with M3 arms? 135 or M3 specs?

Neither. Specs which feel right to you. It all depends on what you plan to do with the car.

Just drive it, I just want to tell the shop what to do

Just installed the front and rear arms last week.
Had the shop go off 135i specs. since the spec is a range and not all can be met, they simply matched one side to the other.
This was just a quick alignment and will be fine tuned in the coming days.

Yeah, as much negative camber in the front as you can get, which i believe is fixed if you don't pull/drill the alignment pin. 0 toe front, and maybe 1/16 toe rear and something within spec of the 135i alignment settings for rear camber, something like -1.4* I believe.

Having done several alignments on my car now, this is what works for me.

As much front camber as you can get, front toe at 0.00.

In the rear, I use a mild version of the 1M specs. Setting the toe to half way between the middle of the toe setting, and the maximum amount of toe in. A little more aggressive than the 135 specs.
