ZHP Alignment

[Andre]

Can anyone tell me if the alignment specs for a '04 ZHP would be different from a standard 330i?

My dealer says they are the same, but I read on a forum somewhere that the specs are different.

Thanks

The camber is different for sure- because of that, I think there is a difference in the alignment. I had asked the BMW tech to assure me they were setting up my car to the specs of the ZHP when I had it done. If there is not another BMW dealer near you, perhaps giving a phone call to another dealership somewhere else and getting an exact answer from a tech might not be a bad idea.

Good luck.

Thanks.

I have no faith in Canadian dealers when it comes to the ZHP. I know more about it than they do.

When they called to ask about my satisfaction about my last visit, my comment was that they needed to learn more about this "special" model that I have. The response on the phone was "you have a 330i". I told the guy a bit about the model, and he was surprised.

The guy at the dealer service counter didn't seem to know anything about it either. To be fair, this model is very rare in Canada, but being such a special treat, you would think they would know about it.

When I had my last alignment, I asked them to ensure it was the ZHP specs, and they just said "the machine knows from your VIN what specs". I don't trust them to have the right program even loaded.
