Thanks for this link.
I tried it and the garage I actually went to in Feltham had this equipment according to this site.
The print out they gave me looked good as well.
Problem is that I'm still not happy. Car still feels a bit pushy to the left so after a long drive my left hand feels tired (also now if the left front wheel hits a hole in the road the steering wheel has the tendency to break to the left too easily). In addition the car feels a bit wobbly now when hitting generic potholes in the road (so like if the chassis is shifting from left to right giving a less solid feeling)
Would BMW work with preferred numbers for tracking the 18 inch wheels? I noticed on the print out each setting has a lot of margin for each allignment to fall in the "green" zone. attached the last measurments they made.
Appreciate any help anyone can give in this

I'll compare my print out to yours and see if there's any major difference
