alignment done -- max adjustment reached??

Anyone here more knowledgeable with alignment spec. please chime in.

I brought my car in for a courtesy 30pt inspection and the SA told me my front lt and rt tire wear does not look normal and recommended an alignment.

My tire wear kinda looks like the first and third picture in this thread:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169063 (hope the OP doesn't mind me using this as ref.)

So i had the alignment done this morning and the SA informed me that the right front was adjusted to the max and could not go any further. He adds that it is properly aligned now, but to just keep an eye on it and bring it back if any doubts.

Now all this time, I didn't notice any handling issues, but I suppose from the tire wear pattern, it is obvious there is some mis-alignment.

My question now is, should I be concerned since the right is adjusted to the max? What does this mean in the long run if anything?

btw, my car is an 08 e92 335i with sports suspension and stock run flats.

Thanks.

Bumping this as I also have a max adjustment on left front. Bmw doesn't give much adjustment or what?
