Hi Guy's,
Got the new boot's on Dunlop SP9000's Rear 255/40/17, and Front's 235/45/17's. Went to Dave McCann's in Blanchardstown, he has some serious Kit for carrying out wheel alignment, and inspires confidence in that Dave and the Alignment tech actually know what they are on about. They load the car, boot, rear seat, and both front seats to BMW spec, and check camber, castor, toe, thrust axis alignment, kingpin angle and rack centralisation. Turned out mine was front toeing out slighty, everthing else was nominally within spec, so she's set up now to toe in slightly as per spec, this correspond's with how the old tyre's had worn on the front tyre inside shoulder's more than accross the entire thread. Anyway if you need alignment done, this is the best I've seen on this rock. Also have a prob with me radio, if you've a few minutes to burn check out this link... http://www.bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=10553&a mp;PN=1

Joe,I had the same alignment doen in Dave McCanns two weeks ago.Car is fantastic since.It starts at 50 euro for the alignment but can cost most depending on the amount of work being done.

Yeah lads, Alignment starts at €50, and if you need a lot of tweaking €25 extra, mine just needed Toe setting so it was €50. Great set-up, and great to know somewhere to go when you need it. |
