So before our two zeds go in for 4-wheel alignment, can anyone confirm whether the camber and toe specs for a pre-facelift and a post-facelift E85 are the same, or whether there's any difference?

They're the same; I can also tell you, if you're on the Hunter, that it'll list the standard Z4 and Z4m with the same suspension settings.Sidewaze Samm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:22 pm So before our two zeds go in for 4-wheel alignment, can anyone confirm whether the camber and toe specs for a pre-facelift and a post-facelift E85 are the same, or whether there's any difference?

So the data will be incorrect for Z4M I'm guessing?eddiemunster wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:22 pmThey're the same; I can also tell you, if you're on the Hunter, that it'll list the standard Z4 and Z4m with the same suspension settings.Sidewaze Samm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:22 pm So before our two zeds go in for 4-wheel alignment, can anyone confirm whether the camber and toe specs for a pre-facelift and a post-facelift E85 are the same, or whether there's any difference?

Also, I suppose what I should have asked - is the camber/toe spec the same for SE and Msport suspension?

No, it'll be different as the Z4m has the additional caster bush so the Hunter data will be wrong. I have those bushes on my 3.0 SE, I had to wade in and stop the guys on the Hunter as they were trying to "correct" the caster by twatting the strut mounts!! Mine has strengthening plates which could be confused with adjustable top mounts.Sidewaze Samm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:59 pm Also, I suppose what I should have asked - is the camber/toe spec the same for SE and Msport suspension?
Caster's a really important setting, particularly on a car like the Z4 that loves to tramline and tramp over camber!

I realise the Z4M is different (and has adjustable castor). What I meant to say is, are specs for SE and Msport (non-Z4M) suspension identical? Sorry if I wasn't clear.eddiemunster wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:52 pm No, it'll be different as the Z4m has the additional caster bush so the Hunter data will be wrong

The Hunter "say yes", and on the basis that almost all of the suspension is listed to fit the 2.0/2.2/2.5/3.0 then I'd say it's highly likely that it's going to be the same.Sidewaze Samm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:39 pmI realise the Z4M is different (and has adjustable castor).

Toe is the same. Slightly more -ve camber with Sport suspension, front and back.
Z4M doesn’t have adjustable castor, just more of it.
