Hey, OP, I have a 2006 330i as well, but when I was following the guide, I wasn't able to preload it to spec, my car started to lift off the jacks around 20". Maybe it's because I have the sports package which tightened up the springs. Do you think it makes a difference? My camber seems a little off but it's dark so I can't be sure till I have them check the alignment tomorrow. |
No, I do not think that it really matters if you are an inch or two off. All that really matters is that it is preloaded to approximately what it would be when it is on the ground. You are just preventing the bushings from being torqued when you put the car on the ground if you didn't preload it.
I also had the sports package so I do not think that impacts it, but just go with what you are getting.
Good luck.
