i got an 04 525i and i just got it lowered today and the rear seems like its kinda cambering where it angles a il, does anyone have this? would getting an alignment fix it to where the wheels will be straight up and down?

A negative camber is expected when you lower a car. I have the same issue...my rears cambered to -2 after lowering. An alignment helps a bit but they need to be aware that you want a minimal camber. I had mine aligned right after I lowered but they didnt seem to adjust the camber at all. :\

Yes :) All E60's have a slight negative camber in the rears...helps performance but something like -2 or -1 will hurt tire thread ware. At the least they'll try to remove as much as they can.
