Does someone know why this would be happening? The shop told me that my suspension is fine but for some reason, my tires are worn allot more on the right rear then the left on the inside...
This is my second BMW, I bought them both used with no accident records but the 2 cars felt like they where leaning to the right side...
My mechanic tells me its normal because BMW cars because the car only pulls from the rear right, is this correct?
Why are my tires wearing allot on the inside?
is it an alignment issue?
Suspension broken?
Too much camber?
Or is it just the fact that the car does not have a locked diff?
This can't be normal right?

This is not normal, these cars will eat your rear inner tires away but should do so more or less equally on both. Never seen a clear difference in many tire changes.

Check the bushing in the right rear, I have a feeling something is bad down there. If it were out of alignment, then I think you would see more gradual wear on the inside tread as well. If the shock was bad, then you would see more wear at the center of the tire itself. It kinda makes me wonder if the tire is rubbing something on the inside (in the well itself???)
