Alignment 2016 M4 - any views on my report

Hi all,

Purchased my M4 in September. Currently on 21k miles. I recently installed 4x mps4 - great tyres vs conti.

Following install I noticed a slight vibration in steering at higher speed and therefore got the car alignment done, locally, in Edinburgh.

The car holds the road much better following alignment, no vibration and feels good.

However when I looked at the attached report I see a massive variance in front camber.

I wondered if any experts had any views on the below report. Would welcome an alignment specialist as I am knew to this stuff.

Thank you all in advance

You aren't going to see any increased wear between the two just daily driving on the street. If you are going to do track day things I'd take it to a shop who would put in the time to extract as much as possible from both sides.

Thank you! Can camber be adjusted on the front wheels.

Your front left camber is outside of BMW recommended specs but it's not adjustable from the factory. If it's still under warranty, I would ask the dealer to fix it.

Thank you. Yes still under warranty but can't get a dealer to look at it! D

They definitely need to get your LH front camber within the tolerance. There are slight adjustments that can be made without camber plates. There is no way it shipped from the factory that way, so they can certainly get it back within tolerance…unless the car has been in an accident?

Mine actually has a similar issue with the front right camber. Mine is barely within spec, but still off by almost half a degree from the left side. And it's a brand new 2020 with less than 100 miles. I'm going to ask the dealer to fix it.
