A few weeks ago, I took my brother's e70 x5 to Kahn & Keville in San Francisco for wheel alignment. BMW wanted to charge me $300 for this while this shop only charges $90. The bad news is, they aligned the wheel according to the previous x5 spec (e53). Last week I drove the car down to San Diego and noticed the steering wheel shaking. Anyone can help me find the correct wheel alignment spec for the e70? I want to compare it to the print out that they gave me. If there's no difference then I won't be to worried. Otherwise, I'm making them do it all over again. Thank you

Don't bail them out by trying to fix it yourself, they are professionals and are liable for their work!!

Im just curious if the e70 and e53 spec are the same. If it is, then I won't bother to take it back. Anyway, thank you for the advice. So anyone has the specs? You guys seem to have access to a wealth of information so I'm hoping someone can help me here.
