i recently sold my wheels to member. He had them installed and is concerned with the rear wheels slanting inward. The wheels did the same thing on my car and i had told him it was because of bmws -2 camber. Will a wheel expert chime in here and confirm this. Here are a few pictures.

5ers are known to have a bit of neg. camber in the rears. If you look at worn tires the inner is always more worn. Tell him not to worry, besides, changing wheels shouldn't affect camber.

When I was doing my KW V2 install I was in contact with Praised the Lowered and he also advised me of the -2 camber.
It's normal and assists in handleing.
There is alot of play in the camber so if he wants he can adjust them if he wants to.
