I just bought my 2003 X5 3.0i a couple weeks ago. With a death in the family, I've not had time to "really" look her over.

I'm getting new shoes tomorrow for her and a four wheel alignment.

Funny thing: why do the rear wheels bow out so badly? Like it's pigeon-toed or something. I know some Euro cars look funny from the rear but this is rather pronounced. Normal? The tops are inward toward the car while the bottom part of the tire bows outward; like it would wear the inside of the tire much faster but they look level.

I've got the appointment for installing my tires tomorrow--9/8/10. Thoughts anyone? Or maybe I'm just dumb. I need some answers by Wednesday please!
