Newbie in Derby. Wheel alignment help.
Hi newbie here from Derby having recently bought a ruby black Z4 coupe. Can anyone advise on where I can get wheel alignment done by someone who knows about z4 coupes. I have read on here that only Hunters alignment garages can do, is that right. Does it make a difference to the alignment that run flats have been taken off the car and suspension lowered by the previous owner.?... any advise appreciated, cheers Gaz

Welcome to the board Gaz. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me we be along shortly, on the wheel alignment question. My local mechanic tweeks mine with a plumb line and a vernier scale.

Hey Motley,
If you'll travel Infinity in Stockport have just done my ZM roady, the guy got the settings pretty much dead centre on all angles, very good place.

Hunter alignment seems to be the way to go, and if your car has had suspension changed an alignment is probably a good idea!
Now please humour us and post a photo (or more) of your car - we like photos on here!
Plus a Ruby Black Coupe would bring back memories of my first Coupe.
Coupes because stunning!
