    camber setting, how to do ? and speed limiter question

    got car from dealer which should make the alignemnt and the technician told me that the camber is wrong on my car, but it can not be set?? Told me that on CSL the camber is fixed and non adjustable?? can't believe it...


    second question. normal M3 is limited to 250 km/h .. CSL is limited too? and if so how can I unlock it?

    The standard CSL comes with around -1.0 camber and the front top mounts have a degree of adjustability which can add up to another -1.0 or so to make -2.0. Every car is slightly different, however.

    The rear control arms can also have up to around -2.0 camber adjustment. It is certainly not fixed.

    Most CSLs were also limited to 155mph. Some were 'de-limited' from the BMW factory by buyers who held a race licence.

    The most common way to remove the speed limiter is to have the car re-mapped.

      than YOu, that's what I thought so I have to find some other service to do the alignment. and can I unlock the speed without remap? for example can dealer do it? I believe without this limiter it can go quite quicker

        A dealer should be able to de-limit your car but may insist that you prove you have a racing licence.

        They may need to send you ECU off to BMW Germany to be modified though.

          Simon at emaps can knock off the limiter without mapping the car. Same cost as a map though :smt017

              5mm Allen key grub screw in top of strut, it sticks through turret and stops movement
              Remove this grub and you can then adjust.
