You have and alighnment problem at the very least.  the wear on your tires
should be uniform on all corners.  I don't observe any uneven wear on my
tires even down to the tread wear indicators - well actually I never let
them get that far, but you get my point.

Regards,

[ How can I tell if my alignment is messed 
up. I do know the wear and tear of the tire is much more towards the inside 
as compared to the outside, but I figured that all german cars do that 
because I was told that the wheels move outward at high speeds. like these 
slashes /----\ the slashes are tires...sorry couldn't think of a better way 
to explain. ]

No! not on these cars.

[I also am aware of the fact that my car has really bad control 
arm bushings, tie rod bushings,] 
That'll cause the problem, especially if they are that way in the rear.
