The aim is really low, but very broad, especially on the left side. I asked requested to adjust during the scheduled maintenance but doesn't seem to make it any better. Either the technician totally didn't adjust, or adjust too little.

If you know how to adjust, just go to an empty car park and adjust with the lights on. Then you can see how the aim is like and you can walk ahead and look back to check the light throw and distribution.

If don't know how, just request the technician during tyre rotation/alignment. Should be able to do free of charge by them. This is what I'm going to be doing in the coming future.

how do you adjust the left side? the space at the left is quite pack and screw driver cannot fit, i see the right side is more spacious and more accessible

i dont feel the headlight is wide, even if wide also no use if it cant project the light further down the road, it is probably okay for city and low speed driving

Hey Peeps,

My car's balancing is out...vibrates between 90 - 125kmh. Nothing unusual as i understand coming out from the factory, the alignment and balancing may not be spot on.

A friend of mine who drives a CX5 told me that he has been having this balancing issue at the same speed range for the past few months. Every time he balances his tyres, it will off again in abt 3 months and at the same 90-125kmh range.

Many factors could be in play here but i was just wondering if any of you guys experience the same ?

Cheers.

nope, except the car slowly pull to the left while driving, so have to make adjustment frequently

so far no vibration issue yet, can try go outside workshop for alignment and balancing la

bloody sc want to charge me RM79 for alignment as it is not included in the service, even after i complain about my car is pull to the left while driving they also refuse to give a free alignment check vmad.gif i thought alignment should be included in checking mad.gif

I've yet to do it myself. I've asked the technician to help adjust while performing the 1st service, but doesn't look any better. I'll get it further adjusted when I do tyre rotation at outside workshop during mid year. Maybe i'll also ask them to teach me.

All cars now will pull slightly to either side de.....mine also very slightly off centre towards the left....

i went to my workshop and they find the screw for me, but they cant adjust for me because they dont have the space needed and that time is day time so is very hard to adjust, if i'm not mistaken, clockwise from the direction of the driver seat is adjust higher and counter-clockwise is to adjust lower

at first i thought alignment is included in the free service, mana tau not included

what's the market price for our m3 alignment and balancing? hmm.gif

Mine did slightly pull left too.. Need to always correct it with little force to the right. Not a major issue, but i dislike the feel where the alignment is not straight.

seems like a common issue, probably design flaw? maybe is time to increase my weight to balance the left-bias alignment laugh.gif

Malaysian road is slightly slope to the left. To let dirt / water flow beside instead of center.
So sometimes we do feel like car are tend to go left. But there are chances that your alignment run also.

I sent my car to do balancing & alignment on the day I collected my car, usually will not that accurate from showroom. I did the same on my 2 previous cars, first thing after collected the car is to my trusted tyre shop to do balancing & alignment.

It seems like the engine bay of m3 insulate heat very well, even after 2 hours parked under shady area after 1 hour city drive I still can feel the heat rushing out like volcano when I open the bonnet.

Is it higher CC car also like this?

Yea...I plan to do that after my 1st service. Want the SC to check on a "tok" sound from the front right side.
