Anyone know of a place to get an alignment around LA? The Firestone near my area said they don't do alignments on E60s due to the negative camber issue.
TIA

i will never go to Firestone again. Go to Shoreline http://www.shorelinemotoring.com/
Alignment is about 100 and they know their stuff (recommended by Eurorev). Great service

If you don't have active steering, take it to the American Tire Depot in Glendale. They have a lowered lift for dropped cars and they charged me $80.

A little out from L.A. but well worth the drive and one of the best alignment shops IMHO. Everything is done the old school way w/out machines.
West End Alignment (talk to Darrin Nishimura)
18008 S Vermont Ave.
Gardena, CA 90248
You have to book two weeks in advance but it's worth it. I think alignment was $90.

Darrin at Westend is good, but I doubt he'll be able to work with active steering, as he doesn't use anything computerized. You do have to schedule two weeks ahead of time though. Although sometimes he can fit you in sooner if you can come in at 7 or 8 in the morning.
Also try Lucent in L.A.
