BMWX5CHI is on a distinguished road
About 98% of E53 X5's I have seen around have negative chamber issues some more than others. I'm planning on fixing this issue with my X in the summer. From what I have researched/learned you will need to change the following parts for both sides and then get an alignment. I would also replace the 4 sub-frame bushings. That could also be causing vibrations in the rear.

: upper control arm (wishbone)
: toe arm (guiding suspension link)
: link (integral link)
: outer lower control arm bushing (ball joint)



I tired to get an alignment when I first got the X and they couldn't do anything as the chamber would return to where it was. That's when they said I needed to replace those parts. Hope this helps.
