they're in the red, but they're close relative to one another. did they perform it with you sitting in the car? i suspect that LF camber angle will be a LOT closer to the right side with you sitting in the car, assuming they did it with no load on the left front.

If that were my car I would be OK with what's on that sheet. My $.02.

I think they had someone sitting in the car as the guy was doing it but as long as it looks ok i just dont want the tires wearing rapidly when their not suppose to because my friend had a issue when is alignment in his 2008 535xi and the inner rear tires were almost bald in 8000 miles they gave me the printout sheet along with other sheets I'll post them...I just spend like 250 a tire and u don't want nothing going wrong with them

I had my front camber and toe set to 0 degrees. In the rear they were able to get both to -.75 degrees, providing much better tread wear.

Most shops will not take the time to adjust properly.

Does getting an alignment also straighten out the steering wheel on these cars? Steering wheel is a little to the right when going straight. Noob, sorry if this is a thread jack...

Typically....this should be the final adjustment when an alignment is performed.
