The lower outer aft ball joint is the worst offender at causing tire wear butt it that's already new the bushings on the "swing arm" (bmw has even weirder name for it) are very likely culprit.

Yes understood. outer ball joint was replaced from the lemforder 20 piece kit from FCPEuro. it didnt help alignment and did not help with trying to get camber more on the tighter side of -1.5 to -1.8 regardless of the toe adjustment we tried.
the passenger side could be brought in to -1.8 at max camber adjustment on the ecentric bolt but the driver side could only be brought to -2.5 indicating that the driver side swing arm bushings are significantly more worn than the passenger side ones.
i read through the entire thread and didnt see anyone mention if both bushings in one swing arm are identical and the same size. if they are then it sounds like i can order 4 poly bushings to replace all 4.
just hoping someone can confirm that with out me going under the car with calipers to confirm myself.
