[s-cars] BMW Rear Camber

[Mark Rivera]

To the contrary, I've heard of and seen several with premature tire wear.  A
BMW tech I spoke to recently told me of a fellow who went through rear tires
on an X5 every 7000 miles.  He had a 200lb dog kennel permanently mounted in
the back.  The camber spec is around -2.5deg IIRC.  The tech also told me he
did an alignment on that same X5 and didn't have enough adjustment in the
eccentrics to even get to the factory specs.

To all better informed than I:



How is it that BMWs running with what appears to be significant negative
camber on the rears do not chew up their tires in a few hundred miles?  So
many of the stock newer models look like they are 2 or 3 degrees negative.
Why can they do it and I will (actually have) ruined tires in 10K miles with
about 1.5 degrees negative.



Regards,



Mark
