I bought the adjustable rear camber kit in the link below from BavAuto and never got around to installing it.

Open box but the parts are new and never been installed. Comes with 2 bushing adapters, seen in pic, instructions and a rear suspension diagram.
Currently on sale for $260 on their website but I'll sell for $200 shipped! Fit's all E60's!!!
The kit allows for 2.0 degrees of rear camber adjustment which will significantly reduce and eliminate the excessive inner tire wear that tends to occur on most BMW's.

so it means that with this kit the camber can be "eliminated".
doesn't that also change handling, i.e. reduce rear wheel grip in the curve, or am I getting something wrong?
EDIT: I figured it out from the website - its either better handling OR improved tyre wear.

Tirerack does a pretty good job of explaining all the tire alignment angles.

High negative camber is great for the real hard turns but pretty bad for lots of straight line driving.
