Hmmm, not sure about that.
I've had mine aligned 4 times (once by BMW and 3 times elsewhere) including a motorsport prep shop, end never was any weight added.
It doesn't really make sense to do it that way and isn't specified in the aligment data that I've seen.
The geometry dictates that the negative camber and rear toe-in angles will increase as the car depresses, so if you set them to spec when fully loaded, the neg camber will DECREASE as the car rises to the unloaded height, and the rear will toe-in less a little (making steering sharper).
I suppose they do it for some reason, maybe their machine specs include for loading, but as the figures are from BMW originally and BMW don't load for a KDS i'm not sure....
BTW - car looks great
