Changed from my Dunlop RF's to snows. Each of the 4 tires were totally worn all the way down from the inside edge to about 2 inches toward the center. One tire had an area that the cord was starting to show through. Otherwise the tires were worn down overall to just barely below the legal limit so they were NG anyway.
What does this indicate? BMW tells me this is normal on the 545i sport because the tires naturally camber in. Advised a wheel allignment is not necessary. Said if the car does not pull and runs straight, no alignment is needed. Agree?
Anyone experience the same?

Ok this was a worrying aspect also at my last inspection. All 4 tires worn way more on the inside but they suspect it's rather normal. Although when i will swap those stupid RF tires to normal ones probably i'll check the allignament just to be sure. My personal opinion is that the wear it's normal because exactly of what you say, the typicial camber settings.
