Hi I have an F10 M5 which is great but I've been convinced since I got it (new Nov 2013) that the geo wasn't as good as could be. On a recent road to the Alps with a friend who has the same car we swapped cars for some alpine stints and both concluded that my car is not as well set up as his and lack front end grip when pushing on and tends to step out and oversteer more easily than his. I've taken to the main dealer twice and asked for it to be checked and both times they've responded by telling me its within tolerance and doesn't need adjusting.

So i'm now wondering about taking to an independent geo specialist and wonder if anybody here as a recommendation for somebody in the South East who has experience with these cars.

Thanks.

I'm in a similar situation although i think my cars stock geo is spot on for road use, however the cars will have optimum geo settings for fast road &/or track where camber & toe are adjusted.

I'll be looking for these settings in the New Year for when i next track my F10 so would be keen if you find anything out in the meantime? I had my front tyres changed last week & the place i use (North West England so not close to you) have a decent laser 4 wheel alignment system so they suggested i get the GEO i require & they will quickly & easily apply them to my car, however they're not able & have no idea where to get these special settings.

Maybe worth trying a few tuning companies to see where they'd suggest getting improved Geo settings for the F10 M5.
