2011 e93 msport. I needed new tires, so I had a 4 wheel alignment.

My rear tires were worn out heavily on the inside edge...camber basically. but more than normal it appeared.

the spec for rear camber is -1.4 to -1.6. Mine were -2.0 and -2.3 Pretty far out.

rear Toe spec is 0.1 to 0.2, mine were -0.1 and -0.1

Fronts were better...but off in Toe. spec is 0.1 to 0.15...Mine were 0.3 and -0.05

Normal for alignment to be so far out?

Can you say "Rubber Bushings?" "Wearing in?"

Now hear this: Dealer does not align car before purchase. Mechs are instructed to drive the car and, if it seems out, recommend alignment. But only if it seems out. Like a cop visually determining your speed.

So. You're smart to align a few months after purchase.

I would say that I had no idea the alignment was out based on subjective driving....so unless it was measured, no way.
