535ix versus 535i wheel alignment spec's
Does anyone know if the wheel alignment spec's are the same or different on a 535ix versus the standard rear wheel drive vehicle? The reason I'm asking is I just had our 2010 535ix aligned and the sheet says they did it to the rear drive 535i spec.
The car is pulling to the right now so my assumption is yes there is a difference but I wanted to be able to go back and talk with the "facts" to my alignment shop.

The numbers are different in one or more of the measurements.
If you have the printout, you may be fine depending on the technician's final numbers.

It is also possible something didn't get tightened well and it fell out of alignment once you drove the car.

They ended up doing the alignment again as it was to a rear drive 535i. Said it changed some. The biggest issue they found was my tread is separating on one tire. Tires are original. Even though the car only has 31K on it the Eagle RSA's are 8 years old.
I ordered 4 new Conti DWS-06 tires. Will get them put on this weekend. For now the car is sitting. Not worth the risk driving it around as the one tire has a very noticeable bump in it and when you drive it.
