E30 Touring Wheel Alignment Spec

[tejawxyz]

I own a RHD E30 touring in the US. I dont think any garage here has the spec for a wheel alignment for this car.

Can anybody help me with the spec? Is it different to any E30?

Thanks in advance.

Same as any other E30.

Are RHD cars different to LHD?

Only if the LHD one is a M3.
For 'ordinary' E30s, the spec. for LHD and RHD is the same, but the set up would be slightly different, since the simulated weight of the driver, which is supposed to be in place during the alignment, would be on the same side as the steering wheel.
Bare in mind that nothing is readily adjustable on a standard E30 anyway, except for the toe.

So the toe numbers on the LHD and RHD cars are flipped? As I understand they are LS doesnt = RS. Does anyone have actual numbers?

With the ballast in the car, the specs. are the same. With the ballast removed, there would be a tiny difference in ride height between the two sides of the car, which would change camber, etc., by a very small amount. Toe settings wouldn't be altered by any amount measurable.
