Actually replacing the upper control arm is the only way to adjust camber on the E70/E71 platforms.... Go BMW engineers!
So as techs at the dealer, if we need to adjust the front camber we have to note down which degree arm is installed, note of how many degrees are needed, then install the arm with the correct level of correction.
(you would think they could put eccentric bolts on the chassis end of the arm, but that would have made too much sense
