Can someone recommend an alignment shop that can do proper alignment?

Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did here in Oregon. Not a single alignment shop will touch a BMW. I did find discrepancies from BMW dealer to dealer on price. I ended up paying $177 for a complete four wheel alignment which was the least expensive. The most expensive dealership was $229.

I got mine done at Firestone, 170 for lifetime alignments.

I'm lowered on bilstien b12's and it was not an issue.

You see that's kind of the dilemma. I bought bridgestone oem replacements. Called a few firestone / brisgestone places and they all say the same thing. Mount balance - likely no prob (same price as dealer $30/wheel for Low profile RFTs). Alignment, they're not sure. They don't have sandbags while others just say they recommend going the dealer.

Which firestone did you go to?

I live in a suburb of Chicago, there was one local to my house. I just lowered my car and needed to get my alignment done once the suspension settled.
But the firestone I went to was more of a repair shop than a tire shop. They didn't care that I was lowered on 19s with low pro micheiln's. Pretty seemless, they just asked me what car I had. Dropped it off and an hour later everything is set within spec.

Hey, we are talking about suspension alignment correct?

Just as a thought, you could try Just Tires. I'm not sure why the shops are worried about working on bmw's not to downgrade our cars but... It's like any ordinary car.. If it is adjusted to or close to factor specs, I don't see the problem.
