  1. Hi Dave, Thanks for the info. I took your advice and ran the beast over to the alignment shop. Of course we found the rear wheel camber to be -2.25 degrees left wheel and -2.19 degrees right wheel. Both were adjusted to -1.34 degree left and -1.40 degree right. The car has a set of 19" M series wheels on it (came on the car) and the shop recommended going back to an 18" wheel, getting away from the Pirelli run-flats and go to a regular tire to improve ride and make the tires go a bit longer. I'm driving about 5,500 Kms./month. The tires are only 6 months old but are already worn close to the wear bars. I live in Dubai, and I have found the advice of so called "Master Mechanics" to vary wildly so I will be on here quite a bit looking for advice and tips. Thanks! BMW Align 08:2019.pdf
  2. I have a 2006 525i and the rear tires are showing signs of uneven tire wear. Specifically on the inside. I am fairly convinced that this is due to the aggressive negative camber that BMW has in the rear end. Front tires wear evenly, there is no pulling or tracking issues. Does anyone know if there is a quality aftermarket or OEM camber adjustment kit out there, or does anyone have any ideas on whether or not there is any way of adjusting camber with the factory control arms installed?
