White05X3 is on a distinguished road
My purpose is 100% for auto-x!!

Without a doubt the extra negative camber would give me higher cornering speeds. All I am looking for is about -.25 to -.5 degrees so tire wear will not be too bad. I also want to set a tiny bit of toe out on the front and maybe even in the rear. That should help turn-in and rotation just a touch. I am so close to being able to win my class...SO CLOSE...I don't want to do anything too radical as that would take me out of the stock class. I need to find little stuff that will add-up to the difference.

Apparently there is a special service tool (pn 32 3 140) that is used to adjust the X3's camber. There is a small pin in the engine compartment next to the top of the strut. You knock that out. Then use this tool on top of the strut to adjust camber. It almost looks like this tool could be an impromptu camber plate (depending on how much adjustability there is).

Now I just need to get the part...and find somebody willing to do this for me...and find the time to get it done...
