Do you have a contact at a good alignment shop? Their equipment should be preloaded with the alignment settings for your car. You could ask them for the info ahead of time so you can figure out what you want to do before you go in.

Why don't you call the dealership?

Your service dept is prolly closed now but they're still open on the west coast.

Make up a story about being some kind of hotshoe racer and see if they help you out.

Would BMW dealerships have the specs and do alignment for you? How did other M3 owners who had their car aligned do it?

this shop is a Porsche racing shop i know personally...

they usually really don't need a computer with specs.. as they align cars track/driver specific....
