Rear-Wheel Drive + Alignment = Handling Balance
On the F20 rear-wheel-drive 1 Series, rear wheel alignment is as important as front alignment for handling balance. Too much rear toe-out causes oversteer tendency; too much toe-in causes understeer. The factory settings optimise the rear for neutral handling — if your F20 feels either too grippy at the rear (snap oversteer risk) or too pushy at the front, a rear alignment check and adjustment at 4M Car Care will identify and correct it.
