Some of us are just too picky, I suppose! Funny, with my new 5er that has the 6 point self-leveling system, I am at the point now where if it's close, that's good enough, because the leveling system will take care of the difference ... as long as it's close.
Not just the frame, but the walls too. When you try to level with stabilizers, it is easy to move the side walls enough to cause the entry door to not close correctly.
