There's Superior brake and alignment in Goleta across from the airport but their prices are super high compared to other shops. Last time I got my car aligned at Big Brand Tires (also in Goleta) and my lowered E92 made it up the alignment machine just fine.

Keep in mind the proper way to align our BMW's is by aligning the hubs. Ever see the extra little holes in the OEM wheels? That's for special alignment tools to be used. You can get a conventional alignment done, but it won't be done the way it's supposed to be done AFAIK. You have aftermarket wheel too though and being lowered probably have specific alignment specs.
As for a recommendation, since you're lowered, call TC Kline Racing (specializes in BMW and Porsche suspension) and ask for a recommendation. They are located on Garden. Side Note - How do you like your alcantara wheel and where did you have it wrapped?

With regards to my wheel, I love it! I'm super careful about keeping my hands clean while I drive, so it is still in excellent condition after a little over a year of daily use. The wheel was wrapped by Coby Wheel which is believe is out of Florida. I bought a sport wrapped wheel from them and then sent them my sport wheel back for a core charge refund.

I use Ian's a ton over the year for tire service but I won't use them again for an alignment on either of my cars. Hope you have a better experience; I found their alignment on my BMW wasn't great and they wouldn't redo it and on my 4runner they did a half ass job. They're fine for tires though.

I buy all my stuff at getbmwparts.com, but if you need the stuff fast, just get them from the dealer. They're pretty cheap. New Calipers? Going Big Brake Kit?
