I might be able to pull one in over the weekend...

what's the issue - DIY job [i'd advise against] or you plan to take it to a 'reputable' garage and use it for reference?

No I had it done at a garage with the 4 wheel alignment machine but wanted to compare the settings against whats printed for the car as the steering wheel is not quite spot on but car drives fine.
I would appreciate the geometry data if you could pm or post up.

Originally swapped over from 2 axle air suspension to struts and springs and had told the garage to align everything as 4.8 spec it just to compare so the tyres wont be destroyed in a few months!

If the suspension is okay tyres should be fine for good 10-12k+.... Btw, bmw's are prone to steering rack issues so you may as well check that too.

If you still have the geometry settings it'll be great to see.
