Hmm there seems to be some discrepancies between my data and yours Henry, unless I'm converting minutes / seconds to degrees incorrectly!

Hi Mark I lifted mine from the Chilton workshop manual, they are listed for a 91 M3 although they are the same for the 89 and 90. I'll need to get a definite answer cos my complete suspension is in bits at the moment waiting on a mate to weld the adjustment plates on. I've got camber plates for the front so it's going to need aligned when I'm finished. Perhaps I should just go to the dealers and ask what settings they use. How much difference to the setting figures will there be with different sized wheels.

[HenryM3]

Just so that I'm clear. My camber reading was -1 +/- 1/2 in degrees. That in minutes is -60 +/- 30 which means that you could set the suspension anywhere between -30 and - 90 ( 1 degree 30 Min's) If that is complete s#it do say so. I appreciate Mark that these figures are still not the same as yours.
