Hello,
I work in a Vocational/Technical school. I had my car aligned there. I would also think that this question would apply to anyone who has had their car aligned by any non BMW source.
My Question: I have an '04 545i with active steering and the sport package, I told the shop that I had an e60 with the factory sport package. All went well the car rides and steers great. When I looked at the alignment machine printout, on the top it was stated that it was a e60 with low ride sports suspension. Was the machine set correctly? Or should I have them do another check without the sports package checked. I do have the factory size tires and oem style 124 rims but I do not know if the suspension is any different. Please Advise.

Thank you everyone for the info. So far these forums have help me get a free software upgrade, a corrected bluetooth module, changed my own oil, I ordered my RPI scoop with BMC filter and I am now pondering the RPI exhaust. I started years ago with an auction '97 540i 6 and will now always own a BMW because of public supported forums like this.
Good to hear that not only BMW stealerships can do alignments,.
