So recently I had new tires put on. One thing I always do after new is have four wheel alignment done.
Of course, none of my indy guys will do all wheel as "Only BMW can do it right, sand bag, weight, yadda yadda."
So I schedule an appointment, which sucks as drop off pick up at their time and leisure... Get billed for the 140 and told there ya go....
Get home and look at the billing and see,....
"Camber could not be brought in as car is lowered."
Uh.....WTF? There's 4" of clearance from the tire to the rear wheel arch.
What would you say to them?

Due to the nature of the rear suspension on the z4, as you lower it you increase the camber. There is some adjustment via an eccentric fixing on the rear lower arms, but it's not much. So it's entirely possible your car couldn't be brought within oe spec if it is lowered.

Yes you run out of adjustment without changing to adjustable arms. I'm running -2 degrees at the back due to this.
