It’s an 87 and I bought the car used. It chewed through a set of tires every 15,000 miles. I had all of the bushings and suspension system replaced, but it did not fix the problem. I got the alignment specs for my cars and then went shopping for a shop that knew what they were doing. I went from frame shop, to frame shop looking for a shop that knew what they were doing. Every shop either knew that they could not fix the problem because they knew of the BMW specifications, or they thought that they could but really couldn't’t. I finally found Mike’s Frame and Alignment in Canoga Park, CA. He knew the specs of the top of his head, and said that he could fix it. The change was like night and day when he was done. The car is quieter and more stable. Apparently the previous owner had a minor accident that knocked the rear end out of whack. He probably skidded off of the road and the tires hit something. He probably didn't’t think anything about it since there was no visible damage. Mike had to do some cutting and welding in the rear to straighten it out. To this day I cannot see where he did the work. The man is a genius. You may not be able to take your car to him, but you could give him a call and ask him what to look for in a shop.
