Or am I supposed to fit the stock wheels on it and do the alignment and then fit the custom ones after? Any shop in chicago area can do alignment on lowered cars?

As "non enthusiast" as it sounds, why not just go to Firestone? My car is on PSS9's and they have an in-ground lift at the one I go to in Morton Grove.

If you're looking for corner balancing sure, but for $179 for a lifetime alignment I can go back any damn time I want and have my settings tweaked or recalibrated. Swap wheels twice a year, go in. Hit a nasty pot hole, go in. Refresh suspension, go in.

Seems like a logical money savings fix to the issue, not sure why more don't do it.

Yes but I work a full-time job during the week so it would take a little time. I prefer not to do xi models though but I do have a engine support bar...

I do a lot of VC gaskets, plugs, coils, injectors, meth installs, JB4 installs, DCI, charge pipes, etc...

You can install meth? PM me with details.

mashimarho · 06-17-2014, 08:56 AM

Does anyone know of a coder that is around? I need to have my Adaptive headlight modules coded, because mine fried and I got these replaced. I also need to have the Halos not flicker on start up. Will compensate for travel and labor.

I know Ram can do it, but I don't think he would be willing to drive down near me. I can meet halfway.

Hey guys, Toronto guy here moving to The Windy City for a little while!

Have a few questions:
1) Are there any local BMW gatherings?
2) What are the reputable BMW independent shops? Might need some work done soon.
3) Anyone know any good sublets in North Side? Lol.
