Does £75 + vat sound about right to have 4 wheel alignment done on an e39? The guys use hunter equipment and weigh the car down properly so it sounds like a proper job.

€100 here in Dublin, so about right.
Cheers

as mentioned in previous questions earlier, i was charged 20 notes for the 4 wheel job and that inc.luded 2 adjustments....

i watched the whole job being done without a problem (which is rare) and i had a print off of before and after.

I paid £55 inc VAT from an independent body shop, done using lasers.  BMW wanted £177 inc VAT but they use cameras which are apparently more accurate.

£20 sounds too cheap, that's like less than 30 mins work excluding equipment costs.  It does sound like you got the right stuff done though. 

Kwikfraud wanted £30 for just front wheel alignment which is no use to man nor beast on any BMW!
