My Ride: 2009 E61 535i Touring
Hi guys, I just picked up a '09 E61 a few weeks ago and I've been trying to get it sorted out.
I've been lurking around trying to absorb as much info as I can since i feel like I'm a few years behind on most of you. My first surprise was the rear camber wearing out the inner tread way too soon (tires had 6/8" tread depth left). Along with that, both wheels had multiple cracks that the dealer found when it came in for warranty work.
Since then I've swapped out the wheels and had the alignment done, but I'd like some of your thoughts on my specs. I've read that some other members have been able to have their camber dialed out much closer to zero, like -0.6 F and -0.8 R on non-Xi cars. Below is the most the shop would go from BMW specs.

I took it to Clark's in Kirkland. They use a Hunter (2000...?). Some of the local VW/Audi and WRX/EVO crowds go there for alignment work.
